Overview

  • Campbell is listed as questionable, but multiple reports — including an update Sunday from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero — say he is expected to make his debut.
  • NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported Saturday that Campbell is on track to play, updating the week’s injury-report uncertainty.
  • Head coach Mike Vrabel said containing Maxx Crosby requires a full-team plan because the Raiders star can line up anywhere.
  • Quarterback Drake Maye stressed getting the ball out on time to help neutralize pressure rather than holding it for deeper routes.
  • Pelissero reported the Patriots plan to rotate three running backs, with rainy conditions in Foxborough and guard Layden Robinson on IR pushing rookie Jared Wilson into the lineup.
