Patriots 53-man roster projection: Unconventional decision guarantees increased flexibility

The New England Patriots are now done with most of training camp and two thirds of the way through the preseason. Cutdown day on August 27 is rapidly approaching.

This week’s projection sees a few shakeups from last week, with the most notable being the team cutting down below the roster maximum to preserve flexibility.

Welcome to our latest 53-man roster projection, this time with 52 players.
