A huge fan of the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, UConn BB, Bruins. First person to create a webpage focused on a NFL team’s salary cap. Consider it a coincidence and not a correlation the Pats’ success since my coverage of their salary cap started in 2001.

The Patriots with the second-highest amount of roster turnover.

Anthony Reinhard @statbutler.com · 54m

There are three teams this season that currently have more than 70% of their players back from last season (GB, LAR, and DEN)

I'm guessing they ...
1. promote Jennings to the 53
2. elevate Tru Jones (or *maybe* Swinson)
3. elevate either Minor or Battle for DB depth (Woods is gimpy, too)
4. use someone like Hollins or Kyle Williams at KR just for this week

Tough one.

They definitely need another Edge guy for this week.
They also need an RB3, but do they really want to fill the 53rd spot with Jennings or Corbin from the PSQ?
Plus a kick-returner (an issue which may not be settled for a few weeks).
And then, how do they cover for Hawkins' absence?

Even at Orchard Park where the Bills in this part of the Josh Allen era practically _never_ lose 🤔 (22-3 at home since the start of the 2023 season) #NEPats

Wondering if Jennings gets signed to the 53 and they bring up an OLB and DB

Patscap @patscap.bsky.social · 13h

My guess for tomorrow’s transactions are:
1. Terrell Jennings is elevated from the practice squad.
2. Truman Jones also gets elevated.

With Jaylinn Hawkins out (hamstring), Patriots safety depth will be tested vs. Saints.

"I think they're prepared," Mike Vrabel said. "Feel good about any of those guys."

🏈 Craig Woodson: 97.4%
🏈 Hawkins: 90%
🏈 Kyle Dugger: 24.1%
🏈 Dell Pettus: 9.6%
🏈 Brenden Schooler: 0.6%

Mike Vrabel jokes that he isn’t supposed to have favorites, but practice-squad OLB Truman Jones (Harvard) is as close to one as there could be.

Says the Patriots would have confidence in him if they had to play him.

Mike Vrabel announced Friday that Keion White, Anfernee Jennings and Jaylinn Hawkins have been ruled out for Week 6, along with Antonio Gibson.

Christian Gonzalez, Charles Woods and Marte Mapu will be questionable.

CB Christian Gonzalez (hamstring) is present for the media-access portion of Friday’s practice inside Gillette Stadium. But I did not see OLB/DE Anfernee Jennings (ankle).

The media-access portion of practice was just stretching.

OLBs coach Mike Smith said he talked with rookie Bradyn Swinson (practice squad) to tell him that his work is catching his attention.

"He's trimming up. He's working, man. These last 3 weeks, I told him how proud I was of him," he said. "He's had a really good 3 weeks."
