Patriots | Javon Baker to travel with team Wed Aug 20, 01:57 PM
New England Patriots WR Javon Baker (undisclosed) will travel with the team for their final preseason game and may be able to play in the game, according to sources.
Footballguys view: Baker needs to play if he can. He's on the roster bubble and is likely bound for the practice squad if he's impressed enough over the summer. |
New England Patriots WR Efton Chism III (leg) and WR Kyle Williams (undisclosed) are not expected to play in the final preseason game.

New England Patriots WR Javon Baker (undisclosed) has missed the last two practices and is not expected to play in the team's final preseason game, per ESPN's Mike Reiss.
Footballguys view: This is not good news for Baker as the Patriots are jam-packed at the wide receiver position. Baker is considered to be on the bubble for the team's 53-man roster. Perhaps the team would put Baker on the practice squad. |

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (knee) is ahead of schedule from his knee injury, according to executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf.
Footballguys view: While Diggs has been a consistent participant in practice throughout training camp, the Patriots haven't allowed him to suit up for either of the team's first two exhibition contests. Still, the fact that he avoided the PUP list when camp opened removes most of the post-ACL recovery fears, making him a good bet for top-25 value. Diggs is being drafted as WR35 in Round 7. |

New England Patriots WR Efton Chism III caught six passes for 71 yards and one touchdown during the preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings Saturday, Aug. 16.
Footballguys view: The undrafted rookie has produced a steady drumbeat and appears to be well on his way to making the final roster, probably at the expense of Ja'Lynn Polk or Javon Baker, who were the team's 2024 second and fourth round picks, respectively. Chism should be the backup to Demario Douglas in the slot to open the season. |
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson rushed for 20 yards and one touchdown on four carries during the preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings Saturday, Aug. 16.
Footballguys view: Henderson had an impressive run that showed off his burst once again, although he was running back Antonio Gibson, with Rhamondre Stevenson sitting for the second preseason game with an undisclosed injury. Henderson will have weekly upside via big plays, but he might not be a consistent presence in the box score at first with sporadic usage on early downs. Henderson is being drafted as everyweek contributor in the fifth round, but he might not be ready for that in September. |
New England Patriots WR Kyle Williams caught three passes for 24 yards during the preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings Saturday, Aug. 16. He was targeted three times during the game.

New England Patriots WR Ja'Lynn Polk (shoulder) apparently aggravated his right shoulder in the preseason game against the Washington Commanders. He had a labral repair during the offseason. Head coach Mike Vrabel said Sunday, Aug. 10 that Polk will not travel to Minnesota for joint practice this week.
Footballguys view: Last year's second round pick has been rumored as near or even on the wrong side of the cut line. This aggravation could seal his fate as injured reserve bound, which would allow the team to keep him without using a roster spot. Either way, Polk probably isn't worth carrying in most dynasty leagues. |
New England Patriots RB Lan Larison (foot) is scheduled to undergo surgery on the foot injury he suffered during the preseason game Friday, Aug. 8, according to sources.
Link to storyUpdating a previous report, New England Patriots RB Lan Larison (foot) landed on the Reserve/Injured list due to a foot injury suffered in the preseason opener against the Washington Commanders. He ran seven times for 35 yards and a touchdown in the preseason opener, while also hauling in two receptions for nine yards on his two targets.
Link to storyThe New England Patriots signed free-agent RB Deneric Prince (Dolphins) Sunday, Aug. 10, according to a source. In a corresponding move, RB Lan Larison (undisclosed) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list with an undisclosed injury.

New England Patriots WR Efton Chism III posted six receptions for a team-high 50 yards and a touchdown in the preseason opener Friday, Aug. 8 against the Washington Commanders, and he had an 11-yard punt return, too. He is still simply fighting just to secure a roster spot behind WRs Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, Kendrick Bourne and Ja'Lynn Polk.
Footballguys view: Chism is not Cooper Kupp. However, the Eastern Washington receiver (like Kupp) has quickness and hands on the field to move the chains. He's buried on the Patriots depth chart at this time, but he's got skill and is worth at least keeping around on the practice squad. In super deep dynasty formats, we have appreciated Chism since he stood out at the Shrine Bowl practices earlier this year. |
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson rushed once for 18 yards in the preseason opener Friday, Aug. 8 against the Washington Commanders, while adding three receptions for 12 yards on three targets. He also had a 100-yard kickoff return for touchdown.
Link to storyNew England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 3-of-5 passes for 12 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in the preseason opener Friday, Aug. 8 against the Washington Commanders, while running twice for 16 yards with a score. He also lost one fumble.
Link to storyNew England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas has had a 'strong couple weeks,' per ESPN's Mike Reiss, who noted that the Washington Commanders struggled to cover Douglas during their joint practice sessions.
Footballguys view: The boys on "The Audible" call Douglas 7-11 because he's always open. Douglas can get open, and he's got the speed to make plays after the catch. His current ADP of WR71 seems low based on the upside Douglas has with an emerging quarterback in Drake Maye. |
