After 2020 proved to be one of the most turbulent years in franchise history, the Patriots started off 2021 on the right foot with a 28-14 win over the Jets in the season finale.
Without a playoff game to look forward to, what should Patriots fans focus on for the final two weeks of the season? There's actually quite a bit to learn down the stretch.
In what has become a new tradition for the 2020 NFL season, the Patriots have made their Saturday roster additions ahead of their Week 12 game against the Cardinals.
For their first practice of Week 12, the Patriots had a handful of players miss the session. However, one key rookie was present three weeks after being put on IR.
The Patriots have ruled yet another one of their tight ends out for Monday's game against the New York Jets, leaving them with only one possible option.
All of the Patriots' tight ends are either on injured reserve or listed on the injury report, meaning they could end up with none of them against the Jets.
