After returning home early following an unfortunate ending to Saturday night's preseason contest in Green Bay, the Patriots have one week to trim their roster down to 53 players.
New England is currently full at the 90-player roster limit that will become the initial 53-man roster by 4 pm E.T. on Tuesday, August 29. This season, there aren't any incremental cutdown dates, so all 32 teams must reduce their rosters to the 53-player maximum next week.
Following the organization's decision to cancel joint practice previously scheduled with the Titans heading into the preseason finale, Friday night will serve as the final showcase for players on the roster bubble who are making a push to earn spots on the 53-man roster.
