As the team gets set for its first joint practice of the year against the Colts and the club’s first preseason game, here’s an updated New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> 53-man roster projection after 12 practices:<\/p>\n

QB (3) Drake Maye, Tommy DeVito, Behren Morton<\/strong><\/p>\n

DeVito looked good in the scrimmage and Morton is having a good camp.\u00a0 I expect Morton to shine in the Pre-Season games making it difficult to try and get him through to the Practice Squad.<\/p>\n

RB (4) Rhamondre Stevenson, TreVeyon Henderson, Reggie Gilliam, Lan Larison<\/strong><\/p>\n

Terrell Jennings has been getting reps ahead of Larison because of a fumbling issue.\u00a0 I believe that Larison has had two fumbles.\u00a0 I still like Larison ahead of Jennings.\u00a0 The competition for the Kickoff Return job and who excels in the other phases of Special Teams will be the deciding factor on who gets the job.<\/p>\n

TE (3) Hunter Henry, Eli Raridon, Tanner Arkin<\/strong><\/p>\n

If they need an extra spot on the roster at another position they could waive Arkin, who is unlikely to get claimed off waivers.<\/p>\n

WR (7) A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs, Kayshon Boutte, Kyle Williams, Efton Chism III, Demario Douglas, Mack Hollins<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kyle Williams isn\u2019t going anywhere unless another team makes an outrageous offer.\u00a0 \u00a0Boutte I don\u2019t think gets traded, and Efton Chism will never make it through waivers.\u00a0 I could see a scenario where Mack Hollins gets waived, with a wink and a nod.\u00a0 Because he is a vested veteran, he does not have to go through waivers and immediately becomes a Free Agent. \u00a0He never cleans out his locker and is resigned before the game in Seattle.<\/p>\n

C (2) Jared Wilson, Ben Brown<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brown has me worried and we will find out more about Wilson\u2019s progress with the Joint Practice on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

G (2) Mike Onwenu, Alijah Vera-Tucker<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brown and Lomu are the backup Guards.\u00a0 I sure would feel better with a veteran backup.<\/p>\n

T (5) Will Campbell, Morgan Moses, Caleb Lomu, Marcus Bryant, Dametrious Crownover<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lomu has had a difficult transition to the NFL overall.\u00a0 This was expected.\u00a0 The Joint practice will show just how bad the situation is.\u00a0 Campbell has shown improvement but has an elbow injury that will probably require the brace all season.\u00a0 Marcus Bryant has been a surprise in camp, and again we will find out when they go up against the Colts D line and EDGE players just how good they are.\u00a0 Crownover is just a massive human being and needs work.\u00a0 He will probably be a red-shirt inactive player unless there is an injury.\u00a0 You don\u2019t waive young OTs until they prove they can\u2019t play.\u00a0 Lets pray that Moses makes it through the entire season.<\/p>\n

EDGE (1) Dre\u2019Mont Jones<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jones is the only pure EDGE player.<\/p>\n

(PUP) Harold Landry (4 weeks)<\/strong> \u2013 Don\u2019t be surprised if Landry never plays again.\u00a0 He tried pushing a sled with head Performance Guru Frank Piraino this week at practice and reports were that Landry was noticeably limping afterwards.\u00a0 He has a guaranteed $16M this year (a terrible contract) and he will collect and the Patriots can\u2019t get out of it.\u00a0 However, they don\u2019t have to use a roster spot on him.<\/p>\n

DT (5) Christian Barmore, Milton Williams, Cory Durden, Joshua Farmer, Eric Gregory<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 1st<\/sup> four are locks with Durden and Farmer having very good Training Camps.\u00a0 I keep Gregory because he is a little bit stouter on the line, to replace Tonga in short-yardage situations.\u00a0 I hope they can slide Leonard Taylor to the Practice Squad.<\/p>\n

\"Feb

ILB (3) Robert Spillane, Christian Elliss, Chad Muma<\/strong><\/p>\n

Muma has jumped ahead of KJ Britt as the Jack Gibbens type player.\u00a0 Khalil Jacobs has pushed Britt off the team.<\/p>\n

OLB (4) Gabe Jacas, Elijah Ponder, Khalil Jacobs, Bradyn Swinson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Xavier Holmes is a possibility here as well.\u00a0 Swinson has really made the year two leap.\u00a0 He has lost weight and come to camp in great shape and it has showed on the field.\u00a0 Jacas is going to be a stud.\u00a0 I expect Elijah Ponder to replace DreMont Jones on 3rd<\/sup> down.<\/p>\n

CB (6) Christian Gonzalez, Marcus Jones, Charles Woods, Karon Prunty, Kobee Minor, Kindle Vildor<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Jun

Carlton Davis Recallable IR <\/strong><\/p>\n

Davis has a hamstring injury, and we saw last year how long it took Christian Gonzalez to come back from it.\u00a0 This is the hardest position to predict.\u00a0 The first 5 are easy.\u00a0 I think they keep both Minor and Vildor because of the Davis injury.\u00a0 Davis may start the season on recallable IR.\u00a0 Channing Canada has size and speed.\u00a0 His contract is guaranteed for the amount a Practice Squad player would make if he were on the PS for the season.\u00a0 He could get waived and hopefully get through waivers onto the PS.<\/p>\n

SS (2) Dell Pettus, Mike Brown<\/strong><\/p>\n

Curious the team would bring in a UDFA S in the second week of practice.\u00a0 Are they unhappy with Brown?\u00a0 Watch carefully who ends up as the personal protector for the punter.\u00a0 That could be a giveaway about who is getting a roster spot.<\/p>\n

FS (2) Kevin Byard, Craig Woodson<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a little concerned about the number of times Kevin Byard has been beat over the top in Training Camp.\u00a0 Has he lost a step covering the pass?\u00a0 Something to watch.<\/p>\n

ST (4) Brenden Schooler, Bryce Baringer, Andy Borregales, Julian Ashby<\/strong><\/p>\n

Im not worried about Schooler\u2019s injury.\u00a0\u00a0 Borregales has been having a great camp in his second year.\u00a0 Hopefully this leads to an improved FG % and greater accuracy from distance.\u00a0 Reports have Baringer getting great hang times and accuracy in his directional punts.<\/p>\n

Total Players: 53<\/p>\n

Created with PatsPicker at PatsFans.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Practice Squad<\/strong> (16) Dorner,\u00a0 Rupcich, Hudson, Holmes, Obiazor, Hutchins,\u00a0 Jennings, Montgomery, Miller, Wallace, Manuma, Saunders, Taylor, Pharms, Iton, Dixon<\/p>\n

New Gillette field<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Per Mike Reiss, a new artificial turf playing field is being installed at Gillette Stadium this week, and here are key points as to why it is happening now:<\/p>\n

The Patriots needed to install natural grass fields for the World Cup.\u00a0 They tore up the existing artificial surface for the installation of grass.\u00a0 Once the World Cup concluded, the natural grass field required by FIFA was replaced with an artificial turf surface. According to Reiss, \u201cThe artificial turf surface installed was vetted by the Patriots and the\u00a0New England Revolution\u00a0and passed all NFL and MLS field tests, per chief operating officer Jim Nolan. However, the field was deemed noncompliant by the NFL.\u201d<\/p>\n

“The field we’re installing is the latest version of the field we took out in January,” Nolan said. “From a player perspective, it will be incredibly consistent with what they played on last year.”\u00a0 The Patriots host the\u00a0Indianapolis Colts\u00a0in the preseason opener Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
