Following Tuesday’s joint practice with the Philadelphia Eagles, the New England Patriots will now take on the Birds Thursday night in their second preseason game of the year.
After quarterback Drake Maye played just six snaps in the preseason opener, Jerod Mayo shared the rookie will get “more reps” this week. While that has stuck true in practice, with Maye and Jacoby Brissett receiving the bulk of the work under center, the hope is Maye now sees extended work in a game setting.
As for who we will be watching closely Thursday night, let’s take a look.
