The New England Patriots will kick off their preseason game on Thursday against the Detroit Lions.
New England participated in joint practices with the Lions on Monday and Tuesday. They matched up against former Patriots defensive coordinator and current Lions head coach Matt Patricia. After finally seeing live action against another team — there were a few players on the roster that have a lot to prove this preseason.
Regardless, this will be the first in-game action that this Patriots team will have this season. The Patriots had a lot of turnover with their players and coaching staff this offseason — so, this preseason will be very instrumental in finding chemistry.
