PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP 2026 Patriots Training Camp Day 3

Apparently he's showing a better understanding how Josh likes to use the slot WR....as opposed to running go routes from the slot. We'll see.

Yeah.. But is he still tripping over the yard lines on the field? Catching the ball is important. Being able to run more than 3 steps before you trip over yourself is just as important.

Patriots.com updated the depth chart...which usually happens around this time of year.

- Brown and Boutte starting on the outside with Doubs inside
- Jones and Ponder starting at Edge
- Westover ahead of Raridon....for now
- Larison ahead of Miller
- Hudson ahead of Bryant

When I look at this and I see that Douglas and Chism are behind Doubs and with the knowledge that Brown, Boutte and Hollins take slot reps, I don't see them making the team. Unless the team goes with just 2 TEs and has Hollins the defacto #3TE.

I look at the fact that Douglas brings next to nothing on Special Teams. Chism is not a real returner. He's a "Hands-team" guy that the team resorted to because they had 5 RBs on the IR.

My top 5 WR: Brown, Doubs, Boutte, Williams, Hollins.

I think they’ll keep six. So I’m taking the top two at each position:
Brown and Hollins
Doubs and Douglas
Boutte and Williams.

If it’s just five Pop goes the bubble.

Interesting that Wallace is getting 2nd team RG snaps. It's going to be interesting to see if Rupcich, who can play OG and OT, gets the nod over Wallace or if they place Rupcich on the PS again since they can be fairly confident of moving him there since he's spent so much time there without other teams trying to poach him.

It could be as simple as Vrabel is giving the initial nod to players who were here last year.
