My family received unthinkable news two years ago when our 2-year-old daughter, Hallie, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. She endured numerous rounds of chemotherapy, radiation and a bone marrow transplant in hopes to cure her cancer. 🧵

Carlton Davis III seems to be trending in the right direction. Wouldn't be surprised if he's back next week.

The Patriots ruled out five players on Wednesday and have some roster moves coming on Thursday. bostonherald.com/2026/10/21/…

There is one thing that Drake Maye does that makes the Patriots' offensive line mad. bostonherald.com/2026/10/21/…

Vrabel passed along how Patriots CB Charles Woods earned the nickname "JR." “The story — I don't know when it was. “He was like, ‘Coach, can I get a Jolly Rancher?’ And I was like, ‘Are you serious?’ I'm like, ‘Yes at halftime.’ It was like I was coaching one of the kids' teams, 9-year-old football. “’Yeah, sure, have a Jolly Rancher.’ “Then we won the game, and then I joked about it when he got a game ball. We called him Jolly Rancher. JR now for short. And then last week I said. ‘I’m ready to go. I got your grape Jolly Ranchers.’ “Put one in, and the next play he got an interception. I was like, ‘this is crazy.’ “I got them packed, ready to go.”

Patriots HC Mike Vrabel says Matt Pryor and Walter Rouse will start at guard.

Patriots HC Mike Vrabel on CB Charles Woods. "I kind of like him. He's got a little street rat in him."

Patriots WR DeMario Douglas on A.J. Brown potentially going off Thursday night: "I can't wait. I know it's due."

Bears QB Caleb Williams is dangerous, as #Patriots S Kevin Byard reiterated Tuesday. But most times Byard started on Williams, he ended on Ben Johnson. This is the big battle at Chicago: the Pats vs. the NFL’s newest mastermind. Ding, ding. Column: bostonherald.com/2026/10/21/…

Hmm. Patriots CB Carlton Davis III was limited in practice today. DID NOT PARTICIPATE OL Ben Brown - Knee DT Joshua Farmer - Personal G Alijah Vera-Tucker - Hamstring LIMITED PARTICIPATION WR A.J.

A.J. Brown had multiple drops against the Jets. He had just five combined over the past two seasons. Drake Maye isn't worried: "I mean, it's A.J. Brown." bostonherald.com/2026/10/20/…
