Patriots roster cuts2/17/2024 ![]() The Patriots’ season opener is officially less than two weeks away, and Anderson hasn’t practiced since the spring. There’s still a question of how long it would take him to fully get into game shape, however. Getting Anderson back off of the non-football illness list would be big. Enter Lowe and Wheatley, who can play either tackle spot. The Herald’s take: The Patriots needed to keep 10 players here since Onwenu, Reiff and Strange are all banged up. Out - James Ferentz, Chasen Hines, Conor McDermott, Bill Murray, Kody Russey, Andrew Stueber In - David Andrews, Jake Andrews, Trent Brown, Vederian Lowe, Atonio Mafi, Mike Onwenu, Riley Reiff, Sidy Sow, Cole Strange. The Patriots already waived Johnny Lumpkin and Scotty Washington. Gesicki is still returning from a shoulder injury.Īnother option is to claim a player off waivers or to add an outside option to the practice squad. Henry didn’t dress for Friday night’s preseason game after suffering an apparent injury Wednesday in practice. The Patriots should be able to add any of them to their practice squad for depth. There shouldn’t be very much competition for any of those players if they come available. The Herald’s take: The Patriots need a third tight end, but Firkser and Sokol haven’t really earned roster spots this summer. ![]() The Patriots have the option to include him on the initial 53-man roster and place him on injured reserve so he’s not out for the entire season. It’s paid off with strong summers for Boutte and Douglas. The team took a slight risk in waiting until the sixth round to take their first skill-position player in the 2023 NFL Draft. The Herald’s take: Barring something unforeseen, it appears the Patriots will keep six wide receivers on their initial 53-man roster. In - Kendrick Bourne, Kayshon Boutte, Demario Douglas, DeVante Parker, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton Stevenson and Elliott are the top backs on the depth chart. The Patriots clearly like the veteran running back/wide receiver, and he brings versatility to the offense. He’s just recently returned to practice but still wasn’t healthy enough to play in the Patriots’ final preseason game. It seems very unlikely that a team would claim him off waivers at this point, and he can serve as depth on the practice squad. Taylor played well this preseason, but he’s in his fourth offseason with the Patriots. Strong was previously projected to make the roster as a 2022 fourth-round pick. to the Browns for offensive tackle Tyrone Wheatley Jr. The Herald’s take: The Patriots traded running back Pierre Strong Jr. In - Ezekiel Elliott, Ty Montgomery, Rhamondre Stevenson
