Patriots Preseason Preview & Rookie Watch | NFL News

Patriots gear up for preseason opener against the Colts, with rookie QB Drake Maye showing flashes but still needing polish—28-of-46 passing, 250 yards, 1 TD, 2 rushing TDs, and 4 fumbles. Undrafted WR Cameron Dorner could steal a spot on the practice squad with big plays. Rookie edge rusher Gabe Jacas, recovering from injury, is dominating reps and could be a breakout force. The secondary faces uncertainty with Christian Gonzalez’s looming contract and Carlton Davis sidelined, opening doors for young DBs to shine. Expect a turnover-heavy game—and maybe even a pick-six. Gonzalez’s extension is almost guaranteed before the season kicks off. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
