Patriots Spotlight Romeo Doubs, Caleb Lomu Ahead of 2nd Eagles Preseason Test

Summary
Romeo Doubs, Marcus Bryant and K.J. Britt emerged as the Patriots’ biggest risers after 2 joint practices and 1 preseason game, with Doubs building a stronger red-zone connection with Drake Maye.
Caleb Lomu, team depth and cornerback Charles Woods drew the sharpest concerns, as Lomu showed pass-protection growing pains and backup units were overmatched by Philadelphia in spots.
K.J. Britt helped his case by forcing a fumble in the opener, while Bryant’s strong camp has put the 6-foot-7, 320-pound tackle in position to open the season as a top swing option.
Saturday’s game could clarify several roster questions, including whether Kayshon Boutte draws trade interest after Houston lost Jayden Higgins to a season-ending ACL tear and whether kicker Andy Borregales rebounds from 3 misses.
