Naturally, the team was in need to add more bodies – and it looks as if they did just that. As first reported by The MMQB’s Albert Breer, New England has claimed two wide receivers through the waiver wire:Chad Hansen was originally drafted by the New York Jets in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL draft.

Here’s a tracker for all of those rumors.UPDATE: The below games and times are now confirmed.PreseasonWeek 1 (Thursday, August 8th): at Detroit Lions at 7:30 PM ET on WBZWeek 2 (Saturday Michael Bennett Jerseys 2019 , August 17th): at Tennesse Titans at 7:00 PM ET on WBZWeek 3 (Thursday, August 22nd): vs Carolina Panthers at 7:30 PM ET on WBZWeek 4 (Thursday, August 29th): vs New York Giants at 7:30 P MET on WBZ Regular SeasonWeek 1 (Sunday, September 8th): vs Pittsburgh Steelers for Sunday Night Football at 8:20 PM ET on NBC (source)Week 2 (Sunday, September 15th): at Miami Dolphins at 1:00 PM ET on CBS (source)Week 3 (Sunday, September 22nd): vs New York Jets at 1:00 PM ET on CBS (source)Week 4 (Sunday White Danny Shelton Jerseys , September 29th): at Buffalo Bills at 1:00 PM ET on CBS (source)Week 5 (Sunday, October 6th): at Washington at 1:00 PM ET on CBS (source)Week 6 (Thursday, October 10th): vs New York Giants for Thursday Night Football at 8:20 PM ET on FOX/NFL Network/Amazon (source)Week 7 (Monday, October 21st): at New York Jets for Monday Night Football at 8:15 PM ET on ESPN (source)Week 8 (Sunday, October 27th): vs Cleveland Browns at 4:25 PM on CBS (source)Week 9 (Sunday, November 3rd): at Baltimore Ravens for Sunday Night Football at 8:20 PM ET on NBC (source)Week 10: Bye Week (source)Week 11 (Sunday Danny Shelton Jerseys 2019 , November 17th): at Philadelphia Eagles at 4:25 PM on CBS (source)Week 12 (Sunday, November 24th): vs Dallas Cowboys at 4:25 PM on FOX (source)Week 13 (Sunday, December 1st): at Houston Texans for Sunday Night Football at 8:20 PM ET on NBC (source)Week 14 (Sunday, December 8th): vs Kansas City Chiefs at 4:25 PM on CBS (source)Week 15 (Sunday, December 15th): at Cincinnati Bengals at 1:00 PM ET on CBS (last game slot remaining)Week 16 (Saturday, December 21st or Sunday White Josh Gordon Jerseys , December 22nd): vs Buffalo Bills; date, time, and network all TBD (source)Week 17 (Sunday, December 29th): vs Miami Dolphins at 1:00 PM ET on CBS (source)What do you think of this schedule? Upon first glance, the Patriots don’t have a 1:00 PM ET game from weeks 6-14, which could take a toll. Weeks 11-14 look to be the toughest four-game stretch on the schedule Josh Gordon Jerseys 2019 , while the opening half of the season looks fairly favorable. I do wonder if the NFL wants the Patriots to play their divisional rivals earlier in the season when New England is considered more vulnerable.
