The New England Patriots are set to kickoff training camp next Wednesday July 26. As always, that marks the start of competition as the team must find roles for players and eventually cut down their current 88-man roster to 53 players.
Here are the top six positional battles we’ll be closely monitoring throughout training camp.
Offensive Tackle
The biggest area of concern on this year’s roster currently resides at the offensive tackle spot. Instead of splurging for a top free agent or investing high draft capital into the position, New England opted to instead bring in veteran Riley Reiff, Calvin Anderson, and resign Conor McDermott.
