The New England Patriots depth chart looks a little different this year with Tom Brady expected to miss the first 4 games due to a suspension.

New England is facing the tough task of having to survive the first 4 games of the season without Tom Brady. During that stretch they unfortunately face tough competition and two division rivals. They’ll be counting on the rest of the roster to step up until Brady is back in the mix.

A lot of pressure will be up on the pass catchers which include established veterans such as Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola and the newly-acquired Martellus Bennett.

The defense will also need to step up in order to make things easier for Jimmy Garoppolo.

Things on the defensive side of the ball will be interesting this year as the Patriots look to replace Chandler Jones. It appears that Rob Ninkovich, Jabaal Sheard and Chris Long will be asked to be the team’s main pass rushers.

This is a two-deep look at the New England Patriots Depth Chart. Obviously, there are some players not listed here that have a shot at making the roster. The players on his version of the depth are based on my projection.
