Patriots' Efton Chism: Logs TD versus Jets
Chism caught both of his targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-10 win over the Jets.
Chism logged a season-high 41 snaps on offense in the contest, with the absences of Kayshon Boutte (concussion) and Mack Hollins (abdomen) and slot man DeMario Douglas being limited to nine snaps due to a hamstring issue both being factors in Chism's elevated playing time. Though Boutte may be back for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dolphins, Chism's expanded role could carry into Week 18, especially if Douglas continues to manage his hamstring injury. With the No. 1 seed in the AFC still within their grasp, however, the Patriots are unlikely to rest key players ahead of the postseason and give even bigger roles to youngsters like Chism.

Patriots' Efton Chism: Contributes as returner
Chism was on the field for two of 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Sunday's contest represented the regular-season debut for Chism, who made his mark while logging 12 special teams snaps and returned five kickoffs for 129 yards. The rookie wideout could keep the primary kickoff returner role with Antonio Gibson out for the season due to a torn ACL.

Patriots' Efton Chism: Inactive for opener
Chism is inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Raiders.
Chism secured a roster spot with a strong preseason, but his NFL regular-season debut is on hold for now. In Week 1, Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams will handle the Patriots' WR duties.

Patriots' Efton Chism: Logs full practice
Chism (knee) practiced fully Wednesday.
The Patriots list the injury that Chism had been dealing with as a knee issue, but either way, the UDFA out of Eastern Washington will be available for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Raiders. On the heels of an impressive preseason, Chism secured a spot on the 53-man roster, but at least initially look for the rookie slot man to work in a depth role in a wideout corps that also includes Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams.

Patriots' Efton Chism: Makes 53-man roster
The Patriots informed Chism (foot/ankle) on Tuesday that he's made the initial 53-man roster, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Chism has successfully defied the odds after going undrafted out of Eastern Washington back in April, as he'll begin his NFL career on New England's active roster with a chance to contribute both as a depth wideout and on special teams. He missed the Patriots' preseason finale due to what appears to be a minor ankle or foot injury, which he sustained during the team's second preseason game against Minnesota. Chism will work to get fully healthy in time to face the Raiders in Week 1.

Patriots' Efton Chism: Doesn't practice Monday
Chism (foot/ankle) did not participate in Monday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Chism continues to work through foot and ankle injuries that he picked up during the Patriots' second preseason game against the Vikings. The undrafted rookie has impressed the Patriots' coaching staff during training camp and has a solid chance of making the 53-man roster for the start of the regular season. If he does make the cut, Chism's practice participation over the next two weeks will indicate his availability for the Patriots' Week 1 contest against the Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 7.

Patriots' Efton Chism: Misses Thursday's game
Chism (foot/ankle) didn't play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants.
Chism missed practice time this week, but provided his injury issue doesn't linger, the rookie UDFA out of Eastern Washington appears to be in a solid spot in terms of making the Patriots' initial 53-man roster. Added context on that front will arrive no later than next week, when roster cuts/moves occur league-wide.

Patriots' Efton Chism: Not on track to play Thursday
Chism (foot/ankle), who has missed the Patriots' last two practices, isn't likely to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
For now, the Patriots wideout corps remains crowded, but Chism's strong training camp/preseason has put him in decent position to secure a spot on the team's initial 53-man roster, provided his injury issue doesn't linger. In his two preseason appearances, Chism has caught 12 passes for 121 yards and two TDs.

Patriots' Efton Chism: Injury likely minor
Chism (foot/ankle) was able to ride a stationary bike off to the side of Monday's training camp practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Reiss notes that Chism -- who had his foot/ankle looked at by trainers during Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings -- was able to work "rigorously" on the stationary bike Monday, indicating that his injury is a minor one. Chism's strong play during training camp practices and in preseason games has him on track to make New England's 53-man roster for the regular season. His practice participation over the next couple of days will play a factor in his ability to suit up for the Patriots' preseason finale against the Giants on Thursday, though Chism could be sidelined to avoid injury aggravation if his spot on the roster is locked.

Patriots' Efton Chism: Not practicing Monday
Chism (undisclosed) won't practice Monday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Per Kyed, Chism didn't get back into Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings after recording an impressive 12-yard TD en route to logging a 6-71-1 line on six targets over the course of his 25 snaps on offense. The UDFA's strong play this summer has seemingly put him in a good position to secure a spot on the Patriots' initial 53-man roster, provided his injury issue isn't something that lingers. Chism is in line to be evaluated before Tuesday's practice and Thursday's exhibition finale against the Giants.

Patriots' Efton Chism: Finds end zone Saturday
Chism caught all six of his targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 20-12 preseason win over the Vikings.
The undrafted rookie out of Eastern Washington continued to be one of the stars of training camp and the preseason for the Patriots. Chism's score came late in the second quarter, as he took a short pass from Joshua Dobbs and fought his way across the goal line for a 12-yard TD. While the top of New England's depth chart at wideout seems set, Chism has put himself in strong contention for the final available spot, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

Patriots' Efton Chism: Catches six passes Friday
Chism caught six of his eight targets for 50 yards and a 12-yard TD in Friday's 48-18 preseason win over the Commanders.
The UDFA out of Eastern Washington also returned a punt for 11 yards in the contest. Chism faces plenty of competition for slotting in a crowded New England WR corps, but even if the 5-foot-10, 198-pounder doesn't land a spot on the team's initial roster, he'd be a prime practice squad candidate.
