New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon was reinstated by the NFL earlier this month, but head coach Bill Belichick is not sure if Gordon will play in the season opener next week: “We haven’t even started the gameplan for the Steelers yet,” Belichick said of Gordon’s status for the Patriots’ Week 1 matchup, according […]

The New England Patriots’ receiving corps is a major question mark entering this season, so even though he didn’t play at all during his rookie year in 2018 after landing on the injured reserve list, Braxton Berrios has a shot of seeing some action.

As good as Ed Reed’s Hall of Fame speech was, there was a noticeable slip-up during it. The former Baltimore Ravens safety thanked the wrong coach while showing some love to his former coaches.

After two and […]
