What happened: Moses said the Patriots are preparing for an unknown after a preseason in which teams showed little. Mike Vrabel is scheduled to speak at 1 p.m. before practice.

Why it matters: The shift from preseason preparation begins as New England turns toward the upcoming 2026 season. The club has five tight ends across its roster and practice squad.

By the numbers: Twenty-two NFL teams kept at least four tight ends on their initial 53-man rosters; New England has five tight ends across its roster and practice squad.

What to watch: Watch for Vrabel's updates before Thursday's practice and for how the tight end group is deployed.
