Chism likely to make 53-man roster despite crowded receiver room.

As a second-year receiver in a crowded Patriots depth chart with seven NFL-experienced players, Chism is positioned to make the 53-man roster; the source notes it is hard to envision either second-year receiver (Williams or Chism) not being part of the group heading into roster cutdown day.
