The will next travel to Minnesota for a preseason game with the Vikings on Saturday, Aug. 16, at 1 p.m. ET. Notably, the Saturday afternoon preseason games are commonplace for the NFL, but the Patriots usually do not play games in that slot - at least, not in recent history. Reiss also noted that there are conversations are also happening about having a joint practice with the Vikings, but again, it is not yet confirmed.
Their third and final preseason matchup is in New York on Thursday, Aug. 21, at 8 p.m. ET, against the Giants.
So, things are slowly ramping up in the NFL, offseason training has already began, and believe it or not, training camp is just two months away, and the preseason just a few weeks after that. The Patriots have a lot of expectations on them for 2025, and it will all begin shortly.
