Patriots Training Camp Report: Injuries Piling Up Tests Depth
Next Man Up Mantra Already in Full Swing
The Patriots are dealing with a rash of injuries during training camp that is already straining their depth. With a roster of 90 players allowed and 21 not being able to take the field is particularly draining as the team tries to limit the reps and wear and tear on some of their skill position players to keep them fresh for the marathon of the regular season and playoffs.
