With the roster at 82 players headed into Tuesday, most of the cuts are going to be made after the final preseason game Thursday night against the New York Giants. Let a Tony Romo get injured or a Colin Kaepernick betray his country and nobody panics, because it’s all part of the plan. Could Brady get one more dose of in-game action? Brady loves having Edelman at his disposal for a reason, and it’s because he works so hard to gain separation.

But this is not any other quarterback. With Vollmer’s ailing hip issues, however, it is rumored that he won’t play at all in 2016 and being a free agent next season, would probably mean an end to his Patriots playing days.
New England’s defense shut down the league’s highest-scoring offense from a year ago.
Belichick also admitted he still gets a little nostalgic when playing the Giants, but not almost as much as he did when the team still played at the old Giants Stadium.
Just 12 days before the start of the New England Patriot’s season, No. 12 is in a very different spot than most of his teammates. The 39-year-old should lead his team to another divisional title and with the Super Bowl champions Denver Broncos taking a step back; New England has to be the favourites to take the AFC.
Patriots: Garoppolo, Rob Ninkovich, Rob Gronkowski, Danny Amendola, Jabaal Sheard, Jonathan Cooper.
There was another play where he got a great release off of the line on the outside and was wide-open but quarterback Ryan Nassib threw it elsewhere, not seeing Cruz down the line.
But Brady might benefit from the extra snaps. In the second half, running back Tyler Gaffney was having his foot/toe looked at on the sideline, while rookie receiver Devin Lucien was helped off after a late hit.
Panthers: Newton was 13 of 29 for 100 yards with two interceptions and ran once for 9 yards.
Brady found a groove in his fourth series, leading the team on a nine-play, 67-yard drive for a touchdown.
Brady will be barred from the stadium and surrounding facilities during his four-week Deflategate suspension, but apparently, he will still be able to work out with his business partner and “body guru”, Alex Guerrero, who often works with Brady in Foxboro and travels with the team. I know he’s going to do everything and as a team, we’re going to do everything we have to do to go out there and win.

Brady said he has tried to use his practice time now as efficiently as possible, to give him a solid foundation for his return to practice in October.
