After a summer’s worth of speculating, analyzing and number-crunching, we now have a clear picture of the Patriots roster.
New England on Tuesday afternoon revealed its initial 53-man group following roster cutdowns. The roster likely will change before Week 1 due to practice squad/injured reserve shuffling (Tyquan Thornton is bound for short-term IR) but, for the most part, the tough decisions have been made.
