"We can only get five right now, we've only been taking five, so that can change each week. And he's working hard, working in practice. We'll evaluate that each week as to what his role would be and how he can help us. But that's kind of where that is."
"He's learning how to prepare his body, he's learning how to recover from heavy loads on practice days and things like that. He's also learning how to be versatile throughout the whole offense, not just playing slot receiver like he spent most of his time in training camp."
Efton Chism excelled in training camp but has not played in the first three regular-season games. The Patriots currently carry six wide receivers and have dressed five for games, leaving Chism off the active roster despite no injury. Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas, and Kyle Williams occupy the depth chart ahead of him. The coaching staff evaluates the active receiver group weekly and notes Chism is working hard in practice. Chism is learning pro preparation, recovery from heavy practice loads, and how to play multiple receiver positions to increase his game-day utility.
