Efton Chism anticipates larger role amid Patriots injury challenges

New England Patriots wide receiver Efton Chism III is preparing for increased playing time ahead of their upcoming game against the Raiders. Following a standout performance last week, including a game-winning touchdown catch, Chism did not respond to trash talk from Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson. With A.J. Brown on injured reserve and Mack Hollins sidelined, Chism has the opportunity to contribute significantly. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye praised Chism's intelligence and work ethic, noting his readiness for larger responsibilities in the offensive scheme. Chism aims to capitalize on these opportunities as the Patriots navigate injuries within their roster.
