With Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams pretty much pencilled in, and Javon Baker making a strong case to be the sixth, it seemed like Chism would be a tough-luck loser. Only, he keeps making plays. Friday night against Washington, he led the way with 6 catches for 50 yards and a touchdown.

That came after the Patriots’ preseason opener, where Chism led the team with six receptions for 50 yards and a touchdown. His performance drew praise from both head coach Mike Vrabel and quarterback Drake Maye, who Chism then shared the field with at times in Monday’s scout-team work as preparation for joint practice in Minnesota began.
