Morton Shines, Battle for Roster Spots Heats Up | New England Patriots News

Behren Morton dazzled as a rookie QB, leading two touchdown drives and even punting for the first time since high school — a surprise move that hints at his versatility but doesn’t guarantee a roster spot. Meanwhile, the receiver race is heating up with Kyle Williams, Efton Chism, and rookie Nick DeGennaro all making big plays, though many may end up on the practice squad. The running game stumbled behind a shaky backup line, but Jam Miller and Lan Larison battled hard for the third RB spot. On defense, Kindle Vildor shined with clutch plays, while Chad Muma’s injury and poor performance raised concerns about linebacker depth. With preseason finale looming, every snap counts as the Patriots race to lock down their final roster before the regular season kicks off.
