The New England Patriots will play their first game of the season on Thursday night, welcoming the Washington Football Team to Gillette Stadium. While the game itself will be a light affair compared to regular season football, it will present another chance for the team to grow together.
Furthermore, the newest members of the organization will put on a uniform for the first time. In total, 34 players were acquired over the offseason that are still with the Patriots in some capacity. Let’s take a look at them and their outlook heading into the first preseason game of the year.
