With just two weeks until the start of the 2015 regular season, this is the last chance for everyone on the New England Patriots roster to make a first impression.
Some players will not have that opportunity because of injuries. Others are taking advantage of the opening created by their absence. Some players are already making the most of the summer by playing and practicing at a high level. Others are just now picking up the pace.
One thing applies to all the players on the roster: With only one game remaining until rosters are cut down to 75 players, and only two until the 53-man roster must be finalized, now is not a good time to find yourself on the wrong end of the stock watch.
