Send NESN.com Patriots Reporter Jeff Howe a Question for His Weekly Mailbag

FOXBORO, Mass. — The Patriots are making a tough transition this week from a rivalry game to a team that they don't know very well. It could be a tricky game for New England, which then heads into its bye week.

The Patriots were dealing with a number of injuries over the last couple weeks, but they're starting to get healthy again, which has put their depth chart into better perspective. Do you have any questions about some of the players' roles through the first five weeks of the season?

How about the state of the defense, roles within the offense or anything else that's going on at Gillette Staduim?

Leave your questions here in Jeff Howe's mailbag, and come back Friday to see if he answered your inquiry.
