While the Patriots faced a 20-10 loss to Washington, their decision to utilize a significant portion of their roster hints at an impending roster cutdown. Despite the outcome, several players emerged as potential keys to the 53-man team, reflecting the challenges of evaluating talent in a preseason game with mixed results. The coaching staff is still assessing who will make the final cut as the deadline approaches.
Tyquan Thornton's continued prominence as the team's starting X-receiver was evident, even with a modest showing of one catch for four yards. His usage reinforced his position among the five athletes expected to secure spots on the wide receiver depth chart. Thornton's performance underscores the trade-off in preseason games, where consistency can be hard to gauge against varying levels of opponent engagement.
