The Patriots are in the midst of a youth movement. Twenty percent of the Patriots’ 53-man roster is made up of rookies, which means they’re also clearly in a rebuild. The Patriots kept nine of their 11 2025 NFL Draft picks on their 53-man roster through cuts, and they held onto two undrafted free agents. The two draft picks who didn’t make it through last week’s cutdowns still landed on the practice squad. So, let’s go player-by-player and set expectations for the Patriots’ Week 1 matchup against the Raiders. OT Will Campbell Campbell is the Patriots’ starting left tackle. He’s…

In what could be one of his final tune-ups before possibly becoming the Boston Celtics starting center, Neemias Queta dominated on Saturday during Portugal’s Round of 16 loss against Germany at EuroBasket 2025. Queta posted a double-double in the defeat, leading all players in points and rebounds with 18 and 11, respectively. No other Portuguese player had more than eight points or six rebounds. Portugal led 32-31 at halftime and only trailed 52-51 entering the fourth quarter before Germany pulled away in the final frame for an 85-58 win. “Germany hadn’t trailed by more than 5 entering knockout stage. Portugal…
Tyler Uberstine pitched six strong innings in an outing against Scranton (Yankees AAA) that brought his see-sawing ERA since being promoted to Worcester back down to four on the nose. He struck out eight and allowed two runs on six hits. Isaiah Campbell threatened to give a 7-2 lead back but ultimately held it together. The lineup hit very well for a team that almost got no-hit earlier in the week, but that’s life and that’s baseball. Tyler McDonough, who’s been raking of late, grabbed a triple and Nathan Hickey had two doubles for 3 RBIs, including one in a…
FOXBORO — If this summer is any indication, then the Patriots found a serious offensive threat in running back TreVeyon Henderson. Henderson, the 38th overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, is the fastest offensive skill position player the Patriots have rostered in years, and he flashed impressive power running between the tackles this preseason, as well. The Ohio State product only touched the ball 10 times over two preseason games, but it was immediately clear how much he made the Patriots better. He returned two kicks for 126 yards with a 100-yard touchdown, carried the…

FOXBORO — Josh McDaniels had scruff. A lot of it, in fact, as he walked to a podium Thursday morning inside the Patriots’ facility. The image cut against most you’ll find of McDaniels from his previous stops in New England, spanning 2001-08 and 2012-21. Those pictures reflect a coach with a tight haircut, clean-shaven face and eyes laser focused. This McDaniels, however, was relaxed. Reflective. Smiling. Days ahead of a season opener where Patriots players and coaches have admitted they don’t know what to expect from the Raiders, it’s easy to say the same of McDaniels this year. Over the…
Boston Red Sox starter Payton Tolle’s second start wasn’t quite as stellar as his first. He surrendered five runs over three innings while striking out just two batters in a 10-5 loss. The Arizona Diamondbacks are one of the best teams in baseball at hitting left-handed pitching. The Pittsburgh Pirates are one of the worst, making Friday’s start a huge step up in competition. Nobody enters the big leagues without growing pains, even the best of the best. Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman started his major league career 1-36 before going on a tear. Dustin Pedroia hit .191 over…
The Patriots made legitimate improvements along their defensive line this offseason when they signed defensive tackle Milton Williams to pair with Christian Barmore. And it might not be long before the tandem proves worthy of such investment with the Raiders traveling to Gillette Stadium on Sunday. According to Pro Football Focus, the Las Vegas grouping ranks 18th out of 32 teams entering the season. David Andrews, the former Patriots center and current co-host of The Quick Snap Podcast, believes it could mean a big day for New England’s defensive front. Specifically, Patriots outside linebacker Harold Landry III, who could be…
By BETH HARRIS Justin Herbert finished off the Los Angeles Chargers’ season-opening victory in style, sliding for a first down that effectively ended the game. The quarterback earned style points for his scramble and sideline slide that capped a 318-yard, three-touchdown performance in a 27-21 victory over the Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday night in Sao Paulo. Herbert had 32 yards rushing, too. Los Angeles’ first win over the Chiefs since Sept. 26, 2021, snapped a seven-game skid against the team that has dominated the AFC for nearly a decade. “It’s monumental,” Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh…
