Stock up, stock down for Patriots heading into preseason Week 2

Who is trending up and who is trending down for the Patriots in Week 2 of the preseason?

With the New England Patriots beginning joint practices on Wednesday, we got to see some of the starters in live reps against opposing competition. For the most part, training camp battles only go so far, as the Patriots typically want to keep everyone healthy.

Against real opponents, the Patriots got a sneak peek at their new-look offense with Bill O’Brien, along with the new offensive line combinations under Adrian Klemm.

The Patriots ended their two joint practices with the Packers on a high note on Thursday. In this piece, we’re going to take a look at three players trending up and three players trending down in preseason Week 2 for New England.

Former Georgia WR works out with New England Patriots

The New England Patriots worked out a former Georgia football WR on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, former Georgia Bulldog wide receiver and special teams player Jayson Stanley worked out with the New England Patriots.

Stanley was originally signed by the Falcons after going undrafted in April and converted from wide receiver to cornerback. However, he was released by the team before the regular season began.

He then joined the Miami Dolphins practice squad for two weeks before being let go again.

Now, it appears as though the former Dawg will get a new opportunity to showcase his talents for the defending world champions, who employ numerous former Dawgs such as David Andrews and Sony Michel. We wish him the best with this opportunity.
