Further movement in the Pats camp today as Field Yates reports that the team is placing DT Beau Allen on IR.
Hardly a surprise, with Allen absent for almost every training session through-out camp, his trip to the injured reserve list is now confirmed. Now, with the newly implemented IR rules, a player can return to the main roster after three weeks, but I’ve got a feeling that Allen won’t be back anytime soon.
The practice squad frenzy has begun! After accounting for those spotted at camp, the Patriots have 16 players reportedly signed to their practice squad.
LB Cassh Maluia
CB Myles Bryant
CB D’Angelo Ross
DT Bill Murray
LB Terez Hall
K Justin Rohrwasser
TE Jake Burt
DL Nick Thurman
K Nick Folk
WR Devin Ross
RB JJ Taylor
WR Isaiah Zuber
FB/TE Paul Quessenberry
DL Rashod Berry
DL Xavier Williams
WR Mason Kinsey (pending CV19 testing)
A quick note on Mason Kinsey, he played at Div III Berry College catching 203 passes for 3,343 yards and 50 TDs during his time there.
Remember, these are just reports, but no surprises that all but one of them were here during training camp.
Yesterday the Patriots cut 24 players to bring their roster number down to the league-mandated 53. Today will see the team begin to sign players to the newly expanded 16-man practice squad, can you believe we’re a week away from the season opener?
Here’s the final Sunday check-in before the regular season.
The team’s journey to trim down their roster to 53 included some notable releases:
[Read more…] about Patriots Sunday supplement 9/06The Patriots have confirmed their initial 53-man roster ahead of the NFL regular season. Now, expect further transactions for IR, PS, and roster additions in the coming days, I’d be surprised if this is the same 53 they’ll have in a weeks time.

It’s been just over a month since I posted my pre-camp roster projection, and now we’re just two days out from cut day. By 4pm EST on Saturday, the Patriots will have submitted their final 53-man roster.
Remember, this year’s practice squad has been expanded to a maximum of 16 and can include veteran players for the first time.
The team also tonight officially announced the release of WR Mohamed Sanu, CB Michael Jackson, and DL Michael Barnett.
Here’s my final projection on who makes it and who misses out.
First announced by Jim McBride, the Patriots informed the players this morning that Cam Newton would be the team’s starting QB.
