Despite UDFA Ben Wooldridge's impressive preseason debut, Josh Dobbs remains QB2.

If the Patriots want to put their 2025 defense over the top, they should take a serious look at trading for pass rusher Trey Hendrickson.

Will the Patriots return to playoff glory in 2025?

Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin has long been on the Patriots' radar, as he appeared to be headed to the trade block before the 2025 season.

Patriots' rookie Will Campbell had a tough go at times during joint practices with Minnesota, but he clearly carried the lessons over to Saturday's preseason game and had his second straight great outing.

The Patriots have a lot to be excited about, yet a lot to be fixed, after their second preseason win of the 2025 offseason.

The Patriots have made their feelings clear regarding UDFA wide receiver Efton Chism after their preseason win over the Vikings.
Sara Marshall|
Efton Chism III is on his way to a brilliant NFL career, hopefully all with the New England Patriots. His awesome performances in his first two preseason games are a harbinger of great things to come.

If it wasn't apparent already, the 49ers were just shown (again) why Mac Jones was a free agent this offseason.
Sara Marshall|
The Patriots have been making their feelings known about Kyle Dugger's future with the team very clear throughout the preseason.
Sara Marshall|
The Patriots' wide receiver room gets hit with another potential injury, as rookie Kyle Williams left the game vs. the Vikings in the third quarter.
Sara Marshall|
If there were any concerns about just how good the Patriots' special teams will be in 2025, those worries have already been put to rest.
Sara Marshall|
It doesn't matter what happens in a run-of-the-mill practice. It's the games that count. Expect Will Campbell to be the archetypal Mike Vrabel player, emphatically finishing all his blocks. Watch that, and then call the Patriots "soft".
Michael DeVito|
Play-action, reverses, RPO, and other trick plays programmed by Josh McDaniels could be monstrous contributors to a 2025 playoff run. A vanilla offense that keeps Maye's running ability on the shelf will be a waste of talent.
Michael DeVito|
Going into their second preseason game of the summer, Patriots' safety Kyle Dugger knows his job is on the line based on his performance.
Sara Marshall|
Concerns about Stefon Diggs' availability for the Patriots' 2025 season opener are not on Mike Vrabel's radar.
Sara Marshall|
The drama surrounding Micah Parsons and Trey Hendrickson shows that the Patriots need to prioritize getting Christian Gonzalez signed next offseason.
Ryan McLaughlin|
Kayshon Boutte had a great offseason. He's now looking less like a roster bubble guy than a roster lock. He's built on his breakout season and redoubled his efforts to be a productive Patriot. He deserves a lot of credit and a roster spot.
Michael DeVito|
While Drake Maye did have a penchant for turning the ball over as a rookie, the Patriots should not be concerned about the mistakes in practice.
Ryan McLaughlin|
Those are three questions that will likely be answered this week. It will be clearer who the offensive line will be against the Raiders after the Minnesota game. Conversely, there is little likelihood that Vrabel will make the two moves suggested.
