The New England Patriots will play their first and possibly only primetime game of the season on Thursday night. Traveling to East Rutherford, they will take on their division rival New York Jets in a battle of 1-1 teams. Their game day roster for the contest looks as follows: Quarterback (2): Jacoby Brissett (7), Drake Maye (10) Running back (3): Rhamondre Stevenson (38), Antonio Gibson (4), JaMycal Hasty (39) Wide receiver (6): DeMario Douglas (3), Ja’Lynn Polk (1), K.
J. Osborn (2), Tyquan Thornton (11), Javon Baker (6), Kayshon Boutte (9) Tight end (3): Hunter Henry (85), Austin Hooper (81), Jaheim Bell (88) Offensive tackle (4): Caedan Wallace (70 | LT), Michael Onwenu (71 | RT), Demontrey Jacobs (75) Zachary Thomas (72) Interior offensive line (4): Michael Jordan (74 | LG), David Andrews (60 | C), Layden Robinson (63 | RG), Nick Leverett (51) Interior defensive line (6): Davon Godchaux (92), Keion White (99), Deatrich Wise Jr. (91), Daniel Ekuale (95), Jeremiah Pharms Jr.
(98), Eric Johnson (96) Defensive edge (2): Anfernee Jennings (33), Joshua Uche (55) Linebacker (5): Jahlani Tavai (48), Raekwon McMillan (50), Christian Elliss (53), Curtis Jacobs (52), Joe Giles-Harris (44 | PS elevation) Cornerback (5): Christian Gonzalez (0), Jonathan Jones (31), Marcus Jones (25 | PR), Alex Austin (28), Marcellas Dial Jr. (27) Safety (5): Kyle Dugger (23), Jabrill Peppers (5), Jaylinn Hawkins (21), Brenden Schooler (41), Dell Pettus (24) Specialists (3): Joey Slye (13 | K), Bryce Baringer (17 | P | H), Joe Cardona (49 | LS) The Patriots made a few changes to their game day roster compared to Sunday’s contest against the Seattle Seahawks , most notably along the offensive line and at wide receiver. The O-line will have to operate without starting left tackle Vederian Lowe, who suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter versus Seattle.
In his place, third-round rookie Caedan Wallace is expected to draw his first career start. As depth behind him, the Patriots made post-cutdown waivers claim Demontrey Jacobs active for the first time. Also active are six wide receivers.
After leaving Javon Baker and Kayshon Boutte off the game day roster in Week 1 and 2, respectively, the two young pass catchers have both been called up to play against the Jets. The same is not true for No. 4 cornerback Marco Wilson.
He was benched after giving up a costly pass interference penalty last week, and the expectation is that Alex Austin will take over his position on the depth chart. Speaking of depth, Curtis Jacobs and Joe Giles-Harris will help provide just that at linebacker. With Ja’Whaun Bentley out due to what has been reported as a torn pectoral muscle, the former was made active for the first time since joining the team while the latter was elevated from the practice squad.
Inactives (6): LB Ja’Whaun Bentley, DE Jamree Kromah, OT Vederian Lowe, QB Joe Milton III (emergency QB), G Sidy Sow, CB Marco Wilson Practice squad (14): CB Isaiah Bolden, OL Liam Fornadel, RB Kevin Harris, DT Trysten Hill, C Bryan Hudson, CB D.J. James, RB Terrell Jennings, OT Caleb Jones, WR Matt Landers, ED Ochaun Mathis, S Mark Perry, DT Jacquelin Roy, TE Mitchell Wilcox Practice squad international (1): ED Jotham Russell Reserve/left squad (1): OT Chukwuma Okorafor Reserve/NFI (1): DT Christian Barmore Reserve/PUP (3): G Cole Strange, WR Kendrick Bourne, LB Sione Takitaki Injured reserve (5): DT Armon Watts, S/LB Marte Mapu (IR-R), OL Jake Andrews, WR JaQuae Jackson, ED Oshane Ximines Despite being on a short week, the Patriots’ reserves have seen some changes lately.
Whether it is some movement on the practice squad, including the release of wide receiver Jalen Reagor, or Oshane Ximines joining injured reserve, New England was kept busy ahead of Thursday’s game. The Patriots’ Week 3 game against the Jetss will be kicked off at 8:15 p.m.
ET at MetLife Stadium..
