6 rings: patriots vs. raiders preview
It was an early one down in Foxborough on Friday as the team pushed their schedule up to accommodate their cross-country flight to Las Vegas. Here are a few nuggets for you:
- Cornerback J.C. Jackson told us that former Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is a "great" receiver that he "goes hard".
- Demario 'Pop' Douglas at Pop Tarts for breakfast, which made me wonder if a brand deal could be in the works.
- Former West Virginia quarterback Will Grier did, in fact, watch his Mountaineers team lose on a Houston Hail Mary on Thursday night.
Oh, and they also practiced for the final time before their road trip here's what stood out:
Attendance:
Absent: LB Matthew Judon
PUP: S Cody Davis, DE Trey Flowers
IR: WR Tyquan Thornton, CB Jack Jones, CB Marcus Jones, DL Daniel Ekuale, CB Christian Gonzalez
Other Notes:
- Despite being spotted in the locker room on Thursday, cornerback Jack Jones, who is eligible to return from injured reserve last week, is still not practicing as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
- Kyle Dugger was at practice after being limited on Thursday with a foot injury.
