FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- An abnormal preseason, combined with having a league-high eight players opt out of the 2020 season because of COVID-19 concerns has created some tough decisions for the Patriots as they prepare to trim their roster for the regular season.
''I think there are a few more questions than normal, yes,'' coach Bill Belichick acknowledged in a video conference call with reporters on Wednesday.
Players had the day off, giving the coaching staff extra time to evaluate the roster as well as to begin game planning for their Sept. 13 opener against Miami.
