What happened: Kyle Dixon caught all eight targets for 71 yards in the preseason finale. The former collegiate baseball player led New England in receiving.
Why it matters: Waivers give other NFL clubs an opportunity to claim Dixon before New England can bring him back. A practice-squad reunion would preserve developmental depth at wide receiver.
By the numbers: Dixon caught 8 of 8 targets for 71 yards, averaging 8.9 yards per reception. He entered the finale with two preseason catches.
What to watch: New England must reduce its roster to 53 players by 6 p.m. ET before the waiver process determines Dixon's next stop.
