New England could play the Washington Commanders for a home game and the Minnesota Vikings for an away game.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Patriots?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Patriots<\/a> could potentially have joint practices with Washington (home) and with Minnesota (away), per <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MikeReiss?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MikeReiss<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Reiss adds that New England is expected to be at home Week 1 of the preseason and on the road Weeks 2-3.<\/p>\n<p>Conversations are ongoing and nothing is finalized. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OHJYYjh9yg\">pic.twitter.com\/OHJYYjh9yg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Carlos A.
