FOXBOROUGH - With nine practices in the books, four of those coming in pads, the Patriots took the weekend to recharge ahead of Wednesday’s joint practices with Washington and Friday’s preseason opener with the Commanders. After taking in all of those practices, some things have become clearer with respect to the team, others not so much.

Not much has changed at running back. Rhamondre Stevenson is the top option, while rookie TreVeyon Henderson should see plenty of reps in both the run and passing game. Antonio Gibson could see a dip in snap count, but he'll still be involved on offense. Meanwhile, newcomer Lan Larison rounds out the depth at this position.

The Patriots will practice Friday evening, with an in-stadium practice/scrimmage beginning at 6 p.m. Friday’s event is a ticketed event for season ticket holders.
