Current Patriots Depth Chart
A lot of movement over the past week, here’s what I have for the current depth chart for the Pats. One area of interest is at nickel corner, where it seems like the team has been auditioning Dennard, Harmon and, to some extent, Butler the last two games.
My gut says that Arrington will be back and heavily involved vs. the Broncos this weekend. There is a chance that he’s a little dinged up or fallen down the depth chart due to bad practices, but I believe the coaching staff views the first two months of the season as a time to find out exactly what they have. They know what they have in Arrington and there’s nothing wrong with easing the workload on a player who always seems to rack up injuries.
Otherwise, I’ll be curious to see how Alan Branch is assimilated. Does he go inside with Wilfork? Or is he used at defensive end on early downs in regular (43 or 34). Not sure when we’ll see him, he was out of football for a couple months and will need to get back in shape.
