“Everyone that’s healthy is going to play in the game,” Mayo said. “Not sure what Washington is going to do, but it really doesn’t matter. It’s what we need to do, what we need as a team.”

The Patriots are still trying to settle starting competitions at quarterback and on their offensive line before they face the Bengals in Week 1 on Sept. 8.

Jacoby Brissett is the expected starter at quarterback, but Drake Maye has been making a strong push over the final three practices and Week 2 of the preseason. The current starting offensive line is left tackle Vederian Lowe, left guard Sidy Sow, center David Andrews, right guard Mike Onwenu and right tackle Chukwuma Okorafor, but rookies Caedan Wallace and Layden Robinson and veteran Michael Jordan have also been working with starters. Okorafor has also seen snaps at left tackle, while Onwenu has begun working in at right guard.
