Patriots OTAs Preview: Rookies, Returnees, and Early Rosters in Focus

OTAs and a three-day minicamp begin in a non-padded, teaching phase as New England sets up for training camp. Key storylines include where rookie tackles Caleb Lomu and Dametrious Crownover line up (with Lomu potentially serving as a swing/long-term left tackle), Harold Landry’s knee rehab and Gabe Jacas’s early role, potential Year 2 leaps from players like Kyle Williams, and the status of A.J. Brown and Kayshon Boutte, plus early depth battles at third running back, interior offensive line, linebacker, and third corner as the roster begins to take shape.
