The final push for New England Patriots roster spots begins this week in Las Vegas.
With just over a week to go before the Aug. 30 roster cutdown deadline, the Patriots and Raiders will link up for a pair of joint practices and one last preseason game, giving players on the roster bubble a few final opportunities to impress Bill Belichick and Co.
Who will make the cut? Here’s our latest 53-man roster projection:
QUARTERBACK (3)
In: Mac Jones, Brian Hoyer, Bailey Zappe
Out: None
The Patriots could temporarily release Hoyer on cutdown day, then re-sign him once they move wide receiver Tyquan Thornton to injured reserve.
