Week 1 Injury Report – 9/9

by

The first injury report of the season was released by the Patriots in the past hour, let’s take a look who showed up for both teams.

Today’s latest roster news is also included at the bottom of the post!

New England Patriots

DID NOT PARTICIPATE
OL Yodny Cajuste (Knee)
LB Cassh Maluia (Knee)
LIMITED
WR Julian Edelman (Knee)
WR Gunner Olszewski (Foot)
DL Chase Winovich (Shoulder)

No major surprises in this list, all of them missed sessions during camp at one time or another. Olszewski has been absent more recently out of the group so will be worth keeping an eye on the reports over the next couple of days as we head into the weekend.

Patriots placing RB Damien Harris on IR, promoting UDFA RB J.J. Taylor to the active roster

by

A busy end to the day as the Patriots are promoting UDFA RB J.J. Taylor to the active roster in addition to placing RB Damien Harris on IR. The biggest news here is that the Patriots streak of UDFA’s making the roster continues.

Harris was one of the potential candidates I projected for IR in last week’s Sunday supplement, he injured his finger during camp which required surgery. Although not overly surprising, this is disappointing as I’d hoped to see Harris finally get his opportunity with the team, that’s now on hold for the time being.

Both DT Beau Allen and Harris will miss at least three weeks until they’re eligible to return.

Patriots placing DT Beau Allen on IR, promoting LB Cassh Maluia to the active roster

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.
