Watch Carolina Panthers Vs. New England Patriots Stream Live: NFL Preseason Week 3, Start Time, Preview
Week 3 of the National Football League preseason is generally considered the “dress rehearsal” game for most teams. If that is the case, the New England Patriots are likely to rehearse for a run at their fourth straight Super Bowl appearance — and a second straight Super Bowl win — by giving their 42-year-old, future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady his first playing time, according to a Boston Herald report. On the other side of the ball, the Carolina Panthers are also planning to get their own star signal-caller, eight-year veteran Cam Newton, into the game that will stream live from Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Brady has typically played a significant number of snaps in the third week of the preseason. According to statistics published by the Boston Herald, Brady has averaged 15.2 pass attempts in the Week 3 game and only once has recorded fewer than 10 over the past five preseasons. If history is any guide, Brady will likely feature in what will also be the Patriots’ first of two home preseason games — at least in the first quarter.
Other than Brady, the Patriots will be keeping a close eye on several borderline players who will see the game against Carolina as their final chance to earn a roster spot on the Super Bowl champions — foremost among them 22-year-old wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, according to MassLive. The undrafted rookie out of North Carolina State has led the Patriots in both receptions and receiving yards over the team’s first two preseason contests. Perhaps more importantly, he has reportedly earned trust from Brady in 11-on-11 practice sessions.
