With no preseason games and roster battles all across the New England Patriots’ roster, it’s never been more difficult to project the team’s depth chart.
Here’s our opinion of how the Patriots’ depth chart stacks up with three days before roster cuts and a week and a half until the regular season begins:
QUARTERBACK
Cam Newton
Brian Hoyer
Jarrett Stidham
Brian Lewerke
Unless something truly crazy happens over the next 11 days, then Newton is fully expected to be the Patriots’ starting quarterback.
It gets interesting when you move down to second string. If the season started today, then Hoyer would probably be the backup.
