While Tom Brady reportedly will sit out the preseason opener for the fourth straight year and high-end players on both sides will be scarce, here are a few key things to keep an eye on in tonight’s action. As Bill Belichick always points out, the game is extremely important for whichever guys actually play in it.
The New England Patriots wrapped up their first round of 2019 joint practices Wednesday afternoon. Ahead of Thursday night’s preseason opener at Ford Field, here are eight things we learned about the team during its three practices — two full-speed, fully padded sessions and one non-padded walkthrough — with the Detroit Lions:
The Patriots might have something in Shilique Calhoun. New England’s signing of the former Oakland Raiders edge rusher this spring barely moved the needle, but he saw significant playing time with the first-team defense in Detroit. A third-round pick in 2016, Calhoun has been disruptive in both 1-on-1s and 11-on-11s this summer
might not be the total roster long shot we pegged him as entering training camp. 4. Things haven’t been going well for Duke Dawson, who’s been dominated by Jonathan Jones in the slot cornerback battle. Dawson endured a brutal day Tuesday, surrendering multiple touchdown passes and also picking up a flag for defensive holding during 1-on-1s. It’s hard to imagine the Patriots cutting a player one year after drafting him in the second round, but Dawson has not measured up this summer.
