New England Patriots

DeMario Douglas

WR

Douglas finished tied with Rhamondre Stevenson for the team lead in receptions while also setting the pace in targets for the Patriots on the night. The speedy fourth-year pro's elevated role seemed to be largely the byproduct of A.J. Brown's exit from the game on the first possession of the second half due to an ankle injury, which underscores the fact Douglas' week-to-week production is likely to remain volatile over the course of the season. However, if Brown, who Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports left the locker room wearing a walking boot Wednesday, misses any time, Douglas would be in line for additional snaps and targets.

Mack Hollins

WR

The veteran wideout was listed as No. 4 on the depth chart heading into the season opener, but Hollins finished as the team leader in receiving yards on the night. Hollins also had a team-high 19-yard reception, and he became much more of a factor after A.J. Brown went down early in the third quarter with an ankle injury. Brown exited the locker room donning a walking boot per Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald, so Hollins could be tasked with an elevated role again in the Week 2 home opener against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 20.

Hunter Henry

TE

The trusted tight end figures to remain an important component of the Patriots' air attack this season, but Henry had a quiet start to the campaign. The 31-year-old did tie for third in receptions and receiving yards on the night for the Patriots, and Henry will look to help Drake Maye atone for a three-interception night in a Week 2 home matchup against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 20.

Romeo Doubs

WR

The veteran offseason addition had a highly inauspicious debut, despite the fact he'd frequently impressed this summer and the Patriots lost A.J. Brown to an ankle injury on the first possession of the second half. Doubs was also the intended receiver on Drake Maye's first interception of the night, getting outleapt for a long pass by Nehemiah Pritchett early in the fourth quarter. Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports Brown was seen exiting the Patriots' locker room with a walking boot following Wednesday's game, so Doubs could be pressed into an elevated role for the Week 2 home opener against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 20, despite his poor showing.

Rhamondre Stevenson

RB

As expected with TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) unavailable, Stevenson shouldered a heavy workload and found running room at a premium save for his game-long 12-yard rush late in the fourth quarter. However, the versatile veteran made an impact as a receiver, finishing with a co-team-high reception total while checking in as the runner-up in both receiving yards and targets for the Patriots on the night. Stevenson's involvement as a pass catcher unsurprisingly picked up after A.J. Brown went down with an ankle injury on the first possession of the second half, and the veteran running back could remain in an elevated all-around role during the Week 2 home opener against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 20.

Andy Borregales

PK

Borregales had minimal usage in Sunday's contest, but he drilled a 50-yard field goal that extended New England's lead to 10-0 at the start of the third quarter. The kicker will likely see more action in subsequent games as the team's offense gets back on track against some easier defenses.

Drake Maye

QB

The third-year signal-caller carried out a conservative game plan with reasonable efficacy for three quarters before unraveling with a trio of fourth-quarter interceptions. Maye didn't throw a pass until the first play of New England's second possession, and he lost prized offseason addition A.J. Brown on the first series of the second half due to an ankle injury. The first two of Maye's interceptions led to Seattle's last 10 points of the night, and his final pick came on a poorly thrown lob into the end zone with 26 seconds remaining when it appeared New England was perfectly positioned for a game-tying field-goal attempt that would have forced overtime. Maye's three interceptions were a single-game career-high for the 2024 first-round pick, and it remains to be seen if he'll have Brown available for the Patriots' Week 2 home opener against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 20.

A.J. Brown

WR

Brown exited early in the third quarter after his right ankle was rolled up on by a Seahawks defender as he was attempting to gather in a pass from QB Drake Maye. Brown eventually was ruled out later in the second half, ending Week 1 with three catches (on four targets) for 26 yards. He likely will undergo a battery of tests to hone in on the extent of the injury, especially after being spotted in a walking boot postgame, per Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald.

Behren Morton

QB

As the emergency third quarterback, Morton is prohibited from seeing the field Wednesday unless Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito are both removed from the contest due to injury, illness or ejection. Morton was a seventh-round selection of the Patriots in the 2026 NFL Draft and played in all three preseason games, completing 38 of 58 passes (65.5 percent) for 318 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while turning four carries into 18 yards.

Efton Chism III

WR

The undrafted wide receiver out of Eastern Washington cracked the Patriots' 53-man roster after training camp for the second year in a row. He'll be a healthy scratch for the regular-season opener, and his next chance to see playing time is Week 2 against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 20. The Patriots will have five active wide receivers for Week 1, a group headlined by A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs and DeMario Douglas.

Lan Larison

RB

With TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) sidelined for the season opener, Larison will move up from the practice squad to join Corey Kiner as a reserve option in the backfield behind Rhamondre Stevenson. Though Larison flashed some playmaking ability as a receiver during the preseason, he may end up making most of his contributions on special teams Wednesday, as Stevenson is expected to shoulder a heavy workload as a rusher and on passing downs.

Brenden Schooler

S

nfi-r

Christian Gonzalez

CB

The deal makes Gonzalez the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history. The Patriots deemed Gonzalez worth the big contract after he made his first Pro Bowl last season and starred during the team's playoff run to the Super Bowl. Gonzalez now gets some peace of mind with the four-year deal, while New England has one of the league's top defenders in the secondary locked up for the foreseeable future.

Christian Barmore

DT

Barmore missed Sunday's practice due to a knee injury but has seemingly moved past it. The 2021 second-round pick is once again expected to serve as one of the Patriots' starting defensive linemen once the regular season begins.

Bryce Baringer

P

Baringer suffered an injury during the Patriots' 24-21 preseason win over the Eagles and has not practiced since the incident. The punter will need to miss the first four games of the regular season on IR before he is eligible to return to the active roster. The Patriots signed punter Mitch Wishnowsky to the practice squad Monday, and he's expected to fill in during Baringer's absence.

Khalil Jacobs

LB

Jacobs participated in the first two preseason games for the Patriots before succumbing to injury, accumulating eight tackles (four solo). The linebacker will need to miss the first four games of the regular season on IR before he is eligible to return to the active roster. While Jacobs is sidelined, Darius Muasau will likely be the first depth option behind starting inside linebackers Christian Elliss and Robert Spillane.

Darius Muasau

LB

The Giants waived Muasau on Sunday. The Patriots claimed the 25-year-old to slot into the 53-man roster as one of the primary backups at inside linebacker. Muasau will likely see relief snaps behind Christian Elliss and Robert Spillane throughout the regular season. The Patriots released K.J. Britt in a corresponding move.

Cameron Latu

TE

The Eagles waived Latu on Sunday, but the tight end will not become a free agent. With Julian Hill (knee) done for the season, the Patriots needed additional depth at tight end behind Hunter Henry. The team released K.J. Britt in a corresponding move.

Marcus Bryant

OT

Bryant suffered an ankle injury during the Patriots' second preseason game Saturday, Aug. 22 against the Eagles. The injury is severe enough for the second-year pro to open the regular season on IR, meaning he'll be required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season. Bryant did not start in any of the 12 regular-season games he appeared in last year, and in his absence, the likes of Caleb Lomu, Walter Rouse and Dametrious Crownover will provide depth at offensive tackle behind Morgan Moses and Will Campbell.

Harold Landry III

LB

Landry spent the entirety of training camp and the preseason on the active/PUP list with an undisclosed injury. The 30-year-old will now be sidelined for at least four contests to open the 2026 campaign, and the earliest he'd be able to return to action is Week 5 against the Raiders on Oct. 11. In his absence, Elijah Ponder is a top candidate to start opposite of Dre'Mont Jones at outside linebacker.
