The New England Patriots are expected to play most of their roster in Sunday’s preseason finale against the Washington Commanders. However, there are several noteworthy names that are not in uniform for the game.
Patriots.com’s Evan Lazar noted a total of 14 Patriots players who aren’t in uniform for the Week 3 preseason matchup.
Some of the more notable and expected names on that list include Hunter Henry, Christian Barmore, Kyle Dugger, Jonathan Jones, Deatrich Wise and Joshua Uche.
There are also roster bubble players on that list with uncertain statuses beyond the preseason finale. Players like A.J. Thomas, Kobe Jones and Mitchell Wilcox will sit this one out and hope for the best on roster cutdown day.

Per the Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed, the Commanders are sitting 34 players, including rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels for Sunday’s game. So it’ll be a mix of starters and backups for the Patriots facing mostly backups for the Commanders.
