Patriots | Several Pats likely to sit Thu Aug 16, 10:33 AM
New England Patriots WR Kenny Britt (hamstring), RB Rex Burkhead (undisclosed), RB Sony Michel (knee), WR Matthew Slater (undisclosed), OT Marcus Cannon (undisclosed), CB Duke Dawson (undisclosed), DE Trey Flowers (undisclosed) and CB Ryan Lewis (undisclosed) are likely to sit out of the second preseason game.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots are not ones to risk injury to guys just to see them go. Sony Michel would be one guy we'd like to see but with the knee injury and a small procedure ending his preseason, we'll have to draft on blind faith. Which is to say, probably not at his current ADP of 25th back taken. |

Free-agent CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (Giants) said he worked out for the Seattle Seahawks Friday, Aug. 10, and that the Seahawks were impressed.
| Footballguys view: The Giants released Rodgers-Cromartie in March in a cap-saving move. He has met with quite a few teams since that time. Even though the Seahawks were impressed, the veteran left without accepting a deal. He's still got enough in the tank to be a reliable starter and we expect Rodgers-Cromartie to sign somewhere before the start of the regular season. |
