The Patriots entered this year's preseason with several roster questions that needed to be addressed. Much of it was seemingly dealt with, while other parts were hindered by the lack of opportunities for starters to get in the game and play.
Fortunately for those on the roster bubble, they got more than enough time on the field to prove their worth to the team. For some, it looks to have helped them secure a spot on the 2025 roster, when their chances weren't looking good previously.
Many faced that challenge in the preseason finale and their performance might have been just enough to sneak onto the team for the upcoming season.
