Where exactly Chase Winovich fits in on the New England Patriots’ revamped front seven remains to be seen, but he now is getting the opportunity to prove, if nothing else, that he belongs.
The third-year linebacker began the preseason on the active/physically unable to perform (PUP) list, but made his return to practice Sunday on Day 13 of training camp. It was an important step for Winovich, who had been limited to just conditioning work in the early days of camp.
Winovich saw his snap counts become sporadic last season as he seemed to fall out of favor.
