Dallas Goedert - No action in second preseason gameGoedert did not play in Friday's 14-13 preseason win over the Patriots.

ImpactGoedert has been a full participant at training camp, but Philadelphia's first-team offense hasn't yet been called up for preseason action. The starting tight end is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he suited up for 14 regular-season games and put together a 59-592-3 receiving line. He's situated to again work as one of the Eagles' key skill-position starters, along with wideouts A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and new running Saquon Barkley.

Patriots' Jerod Mayo: Jacoby Brissett, Drake Maye QB competition 'isn't over'

JaQuae Jackson - X-Rays negative, MRI nextNew England's head coach Jerod Mayo said X-Rays on Jackson (knee) came back negative, but he'll get an MRI today, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

ImpactJackson suffered a non-contact knee injury in New England's Thursday preseason game against Philadelphia. The X-Rays coming back negative is a positive for the wide receiver, but the MRI results should provide more insight towards the scope of his knee problem.

Jacoby Brissett - QB competition ongoingFollowing Thursday's 14-13 preseason loss to the Eagles, which Brissett started, coach Jerod Mayo noted that the competition for the team's starting QB job "definitely isn't over,"...

ImpactPer Mayo, rookie signal caller Drake Maye -- who has been the No. 2 option throughout training camp -- "definitely took a step forward" during his four-series stint in Thursday's contest. Meanwhile, Brissett wasn't sharp in his three series versus Philadelphia, which sets the stage for both players to see action in New England's exhibition finale against the Commanders on Aug. 25. In any case, Brissett, who began camp as the team's presumed starter, hasn't yet secured his depth chart standing ahead of Week 1, which opens the possibility that Maye could make a push for the assignment if -- as Mayo previously indicated -- he "lights it up" in practice and in next week's game.

Austin Hooper - Catches one pass versus EaglesHooper caught one of his three targets for nine yards in Thursday's 14-13 preseason loss to the Eagles.

ImpactFellow tight end Hunter Henry sat out the contest, as he deals with a minor unspecified injury, but as long as he's available come Week 1, Hooper figures to work in a complementary role in the Patriots offense. In the event that Henry misses time at any point this season, however, Hooper could potentially emerge as a streaming option at his position.

Tyquan Thornton - Nine snaps versus PhiladelphiaThornton was on the field for nine snaps on offense in Thursday's 14-13 preseason loss to the Eagles.

ImpactThornton didn't see any targets in his limited action versus Philadelphia, but he did line up with the starting offense for the second straight exhibition contest. As the coming season approaches, Thornton has a chance to parlay his speed into a role in a Patriots' wideout corps that could be without Kendrick Bourne (knee) early on. How much volume the 2022 second-rounder might see in that context hinges on how snaps are distributed among whichever combo of fellow WRs DeMario Douglas, Ja'Lynn Polk, K.J. Osborn, Javon Baker, Kayshon Boutte and Jalen Reagor are active come Week 1.
