Then he could be placed on PUP to allow time to heal. With Wilkerson, New England could outright release him, and his current injury would deter teams from claiming him, allowing him to be signed to the practice squad. With the depth depleting, it makes sense to let him play out his contract here. I originally had a trade for Nelson Agholor, but he has continued to improve day after day. Humphrey’s age and contract make it intriguing for the Patriots to keep him on the roster, especially due to injuries to Kristian Wilkerson and Tyquan Thornton. Bill Belichick loves players that can play multiple facets of the game, and Humphrey has also produced as a receiver this camp. His size allows him to pinch hit at tight end in case of an emergency, and the special teams upside is too good to pass up.
That’s right, “LJ” has won over the hearts of New England Fans, especially me. Wide Receivers (6): Devante Parker, Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne, Jakobi Meyers, Tre Nixon, and Lil'Jordan Humphrey I like Kevin Harris, but at this point, it’s a crowded room with Harris, Stevenson, Montgomery and Strong.Ĭuts: Kevin Harris (Injured Reserve), JJ Taylor (Practice Squad) I also have JJ Taylor being cut, and if he clears waivers, which he likely will, he can be signed to the practice squad for depth. I have Kevin Harris getting the infamous Foxborough Flu and being placed on the injured reserve, ending his season. I still have the same running back room as I did last time, unless Damien Harris’ injury suffered Wednesday in the final joint practice is anything major. Running Backs (4): Damien Harris, Rhamondre Stevenson, Ty Montgomery, Pierre Strong Jr. All three have essentially been roster locks all summer, as New England hasn’t brought any competition in for quarterbacks, outside rookie Bailey Zappe.
PATRIOTS PROPLAYER MAC
Quarterbacks (3): Mac Jones, Bailey Zappe, Brian Hoyer Without further ado, let’s get into who I think will be on the opening day 53-man roster. However, adding them post August 30 will allow that player to return during the season. Teams do this to avoid adding injured players to IR before the deadline, as that will end their season. He was cut, signed to the practice squad and then elevated. A prime example of this was with Brian Hoyer last season. Keep in mind, teams typically will cut players before the 53-man roster deadline on August 30, with hopes of retaining them once they clear waivers. This will be my final iteration of the 53-man roster projection, and it will be a forecast for what we could see Week 1 against Miami-and not about what the roster will look like on August 31. The Patriots will face Josh McDaniels’ Las Vegas Raiders on Friday night in Vegas, and it will be the last true test for players on the roster bubble.
Tuesday, the New England Patriots announced two moves to get down to the required 80-man roster.
