FOXBOROUGH – The Patriots will play in a real game on Thursday. Sorta.
New England hosts the New York Giants for the preseason opener. Obviously, what the final result of a preseason game is means nothing come the regular season. But it can also be an indicator of what’s to come.
Here are a few things that can happen for the Patriots on Thursday night.
Patriots Preseason Week 1 Predictions
Mac Jones won’t play.
No inside information here, but after observing Tuesday’s practice, I wouldn’t expect Jones to play.
Jones still got his first team snaps on Tuesday, and the offense played quite well, a pleasant change of news for the Patriots.
