The New England Patriots are taking on the Carolina Panthers in what should serve as the final dress rehearsal before the regular season.
Patriots QB Tom Brady is expected to play, while WR Julian Edelman could make his debut, too. Rookie RB D.J. Foster will draw a lot of attention, as will DT Anthony Johnson and the recently acquired ED Barkevious Mingo. This will be a great chance for the Patriots to show their stuff against a top flight defense.
