Patriots adjust game day roster ahead of Week 2 matchup
Summary

The New England Patriots have made several changes to their game day roster for the Week 2 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Notable adjustments stem from injuries to wide receiver A.J. Brown and cornerback Carlton Davis, resulting in the activation of Efton Chism and Karon Prunty. The Patriots will only have three offensive tackles available with Dametrious Crownover inactive. TreVeyon Henderson is returning as the No. 2 running back, and DaQuan Jones will see his first action with the team. The game is set to kick off at 1 p.m. ET at Gillette Stadium.
