Sony Michel (meniscus procedure) and Jacob Hollister (hamstring) are making their season debuts after getting over their injuries.

no punt return help . interesting to see if they put Patterson there to return some instead of just watching touchbacks..

Who is fair catching? Chung?
Belichick?

Good that both Michel and Burkhead are active.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Both burk and michel active, nice!

I had high hopes for rivers but as long as our pass rush looks good again im not too heartbroken

I’m guessing Chung will be the guy. Expecting fair catches.

Can't wait to see Sony Playstation in action.

Worried about STs.

We’ll see if Yeldon/Calais are 100%.

 

[AlexB]

Great to see Burkhead, Michel, and Hollister healthy.

Rivers again : I’d want him to have picked up enough last year (study year) to contribute.

Among the punt-return options for Patriots today: Patrick Chung, Chris Hogan, Cordarelle Patterson, Rex Burkhead.

Rivers is ready to contribute. On a more of a pass rushing game plan he could get the nod.

At the moment two rushers (Clayborn, Wise - also inside rusher) are ahead of him and two top “contain rushers“ (Flowers, Davis) as well..

In any case . great to have him healthy and on the roster.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Very happy to see Hollister suit up today and whether or not he actually contributes.

Interested in the fact that Rivers is a (presumably) healthy scratch again this week. Wonder if there's something there . . .

Campbell is active . still a reminder..

Scenes from warmups: Patrick Chung the top punt returner, followed by Chris Hogan. Chung said of his PR approach, "Just good decisions. You don't want to force it. And if you are able to get the opportunity to try to make a play, make a play. Protect the ball, call it a day."

 

[Gwedd]

Well, you play with the folks you have. I suspect that ST's will be fine. Coach is always planning and teaching situational awareness and I wouldn't doubt that he tries various formations for PR and KR during practice, just in case.

Regardless, I'm hoping for a great game, no injuries, and another Patriots win.

 

[farn]

I wish we had someone other than chung back there. It’s not my lack of faith in him, but a fear of injury to a key player that we’d struggle to replace.

Amen. Have fun, folks!
