Patriots Offensive Line Falters as Roster Deadline Nears

As the New England Patriots prepare for their final preseason game against the New York Giants on August 24th, 2025, the team held a highly competitive practice on August 22nd, 2025. With roster cuts looming, players are fighting for their spots on the team.

During the practice session, the Patriots' offensive line struggled to contain the defensive pressure, with rookie quarterback Drake Maye reportedly being sacked seven times. Defensive end Chaisson had a particularly strong showing, recording a "sack" on Maye. This was not the first time Chaisson has gotten the better of the offensive line this preseason.

On a brighter note, the Patriots' kickers had an impressive day. Both Andy Borregales and Parker Romo made all of their field goal attempts, ranging from 32 to 49 yards. Borregales also successfully converted a 42-yard attempt during an end-of-game situational drill. However, rookie long snapper Julian Ashby struggled with his snaps, including one that was very low on a field goal attempt.

The Patriots' receiving corps has been hit by injuries, leading to more opportunities for the healthy receivers. Veteran Mack Hollins made the play of the day, jumping up and making a one-handed catch over cornerback Carlton Davis on a pass from Maye.

As the Patriots prepare for their final preseason game, the coaching staff will have some tough decisions to make regarding the roster. The team's performance in this final exhibition match could be crucial for players on the bubble.
