Some news and notes on this Friday:
1) The league may have released the 2022 NFL Regular Season Schedule last week, but one bit of mystery locally was that the date and kickoff times of each of the preseason games for the New England Patriots were still unknown.
That bit of news finally came to light Thursday when each of the dates and times for their three preseason contests was confirmed.
The Patriots will play each of their first two exhibition games at Gillette Stadium, with the initial game coming against the New York Giants on Thursday, August 11th at 7:00 pm.
