The big news was the status of Ja'Marr Chase, who was questionable to play today after being limited in practice this week following his hold-in. Chase also had an illness designation added on Saturday.

As it turns out, Chase will play today, so his hold-in appears to be completely over, for now anyway.

Another positive development is rookie Jermaine Burton being active. A recent report suggested Burton had a ways to go in his acclimation to the NFL, enough that it appeared he'd be inactive for Game 1, but he's going to suit up and make his debut today.

We'll have the Patriots inactive included shortly...
