Mike Vrabel: Efton Chism III has earned more opportunities

Following a game-winning 23-yard reception on Sunday, Patriots wide receiver Efton Chism III is set to receive an expanded role in the offense. Head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed on Monday that the receiver's recent performance and versatility have earned him additional opportunities moving forward.

Chism played 34 offensive snaps during the latest contest, recording two catches for 42 yards on four targets. This represents a steady increase in usage for the player, who was inactive for the season opener, played 10 snaps against Pittsburgh, and saw 16 snaps in the Week 3 matchup against Jacksonville.
