FOXBOROUGH — When the Patriots had their Kansas City road trip from hell in early October, Jakobi Meyers was sitting at home.
Isaiah Zuber had jumped him on the depth chart — at least for a week — as the practice squad member suited up against the Chiefs while Meyers was left behind as a healthy scratch. The second-year wide receiver only had one catch until late October.
It’s easy to forget that, given everything that’s transpired since.
Meyers’ opportunity didn’t really arrive until N’Keal Harry was concussed against the 49ers, but when it did show up, he absolutely bolted with it.
