Patriots Roster Shuffle Continues, Release Welch
The New England Patriots continue to shuffle their roster, making another transaction on Tuesday evening. One day after promoting offensive tackle Thomas Welch from the practice squad to the game-day roster, the Patriots have released him.

Welch, a 2010 seventh-round draft choice out of Vanderbilt, was promoted for depth after offensive tackle Sebastian Vollmer was unable to play in Monday night's game with a back injury. The second-year tackle does have practice squad eligibility if the Pats decide to bring him back.
This transaction opens up a spot on the Patriots 53-man roster, a move I would expect to be made on Wednesday.
If I was to take a guess on the position(s) the coaching staff may be targeting, I would look at offensive line or front seven help. I will post an update when more details are released.
