New England Patriots rookies and veterans will soon report back to Gillette Stadium as training camp is set to kick off. For the now Mike Vrabel-led Patriots, their first practice of the summer will begin on Wednesday, July 23 at 10:30 a.m. ET.
Before the players and coaches take the field, our preview series will continue with New England’s safety position.
Depth chart
Starters: Kyle Dugger*, Jabrill Peppers* | Backups: Jaylinn Hawkins*, Craig Woodson* (R), Brenden Schooler*, Marcus Epps, Dell Pettus, Josh Minkins Jr. (U-R)
Despite returning their top four safeties from last season (Dugger, Peppers, Hawkins, Pettus), New England did not shy away from making external additions this offseason.
