The New England Patriots have finalized not only their 53-man roster ahead of Thursday’s opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but also their practice squad. Here’s a breakdown of the ten players who are just an injury or a good practice away from being upgraded to the active roster.
10. WR Kenbrell Thompkins
The Patriots reluctantly released Thompkins last October, so it’s nice to see him back in New England now that the Oakland Raiders have cut him loose. Thompkins caught 15 passes for 209 yards during his short stint with the silver-and-black, looking like a solid wideout.
