So gave him a large opportunity there at left guard today. That\u2019s kind of where he was starting to make strides, I think, in the offseason. And we\u2019ll just continue to coach him. And he\u2019s gotten reps at other places in practice, and maybe that hasn\u2019t shown up as much in the games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, the fact that they&#8217;ve gotten such a small return from that class is disappointing.\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box;

If we give him a couple of weeks of practice, he&#8217;ll be okay.&#8217; Now, obviously, they&#8217;re going to have the ramp up because you have to bye now before week one. Now, it looks a little bit different because I still think Kendrick Bourne, like if Efton Chism really is hurt and misses extended time, that&#8217;s where Kendrick Bourne maybe makes the roster and maybe you keep Efton Chism Which is, I don&#8217;t know, the ways that you manage the roster.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But it&#8217;s better for the wide receiver depth knowing that Kyle Williams can be out there. Now you feel like you&#8217;re more five deep. You got your starters that are locked in in Stefon Diggs, Demario Douglas, and Kayshon Boutte. Mack Hollins is a top fourth option who we know is going to be involved. Then you have Kyle Williams, who brings that explosiveness, that vertical speed.\u00a0 And that gives you, I think, a much more well-rounded room skillset-wise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We still got to see Kyle Williams do it against starters and some of the better NFL talent he&#8217;s going to face. But we know he&#8217;s been very impressive in the preseason, so hopefully, he gets healthy and that translates to week one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Odds and Ends<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Ben Volin of the Boston Globe had an interesting bit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/2025\/08\/23\/sports\/nfl-on-cbs-patriots-broadcast-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>in his Sunday Column<\/strong><\/a>, writing that there were several notable players who skipped enough voluntary workouts this offseason that it cost them a bonus.\u00a0 Among those names were newcomers <strong>Carlton Davis\u00a0<\/strong>($225,000), <strong>Stefon Diggs<\/strong> ($200,000), and\u00a0<strong>Morgan Moses<\/strong> ($150,000), who each gave up a pretty good amount of money for not attending at least 27 of 32 sessions, with Volin citing NFLPA records.\u00a0 Volin also reports that two others who lost out were <strong>Rhamondre Stevenson<\/strong> ($250,000) and\u00a0<strong>Marcus Epps\u00a0<\/strong>($25,000). &#8230; Vrabel was asked about his &#8220;rats&#8221; comment on WEEI on Monday morning, which came as he was asked about the news of Polk&#8217;s injury and subsequent placement on IR.\u00a0 Vrabel admitted the comment stemmed from how Thursday&#8217;s game played out.\u00a0 &#8220;There&#8217;s rats all over the place,&#8221; said Vrabel, &#8220;Whether that&#8217;s in this building, whether that&#8217;s outside this building, I just love the flow of information, and I just felt inclined, and I was pissed off because we stunk and we couldn&#8217;t do anything.
