FOXBORO — A handful of the Patriots’ top players are not in uniform ahead of Friday’s preseason opener against the Commanders.
Here’s the full list of likely inactives: CB Christian Gonzalez, OLB Harold Landry, CB Carlton Davis, WR Stefon Diggs, OLB K’Lavon Chaisson, LB Jahlani Tavai, OT Vederian Lowe, G Sidy Sow, OT Caedan Wallace, OT Morgan Moses, WR Kendrick Bourne and DT Christian Barmore.
There aren’t any major surprises on that list. The Patriots have taken it easy on Landry, Davis, Tavai, Moses and Barmore in training camp. Gonzalez, Chaisson, Sow, Wallace and Bourne have gotten banged up since training camp began. Tavai and Lowe began the summer on the PUP list.
The Commanders will hold out 30 players in Friday’s preseason opener, including most of their starters and former Patriots cornerback Jonathan Jones and defensive end Deatrich Wise.
