I agree, that Adams or Richard will move up..probably later today or tomorrow..there is no surprise there. If they were bringing in a new player I do believe that would have been earlier in the week.
What this also says I think is that Brace may not be ready or that they feel that they need more defensive linemen. I would go with the "Brace isn't ready yet" situation until he's playing at least some.

I think that this would be the case if they brought up Adams or Richard and either one got snaps over Brace. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the Pats added a TE or a RB. Both of which they've been lacking of late. They could also be looking at another DB with Wheatley having been inactive and Wilhite missing from practice. Another possibility is adding a LB.

There are numerous possibilities.

Or Wide Receiver too. Could be Nunn.

I thought Nunn had a good preseason. I would like to see the kid get a chance.

Time to bring in that #3 QB?

I wonder if they might bring back Michael Matthews? He wasn't stinking the joint up as a #3 TE, was he?

I guess the other consideration is that they've scouted a noteworthy player from another practice squad.

I suspect we're being baited here.

Were BB interested in the 3rd QB, he'd have brought him in after London so the futility of having him learn the system if he's not an ex-Raider would have an extra week. Either way, the week was there to be utilized and it wasn't.

Which raises the question: is Stanback a WR, QB or both?

Which likely makes the PSquad activation even more realistic.

If it was a bit earlier in the week I would have thought that maybe Terdell Sands was coming back - when they released him his locker was in tact for a few days and there was some speculation that he might be brought back. Given that its the end of the week and the game plan has been installed, I would think it has to be someone from the PS coming up. Perhaps they bring in Nunn so they can go to more 4 and 5 receiver sets and take advantage of Miami's young secondary.

Reiss is saying it's Kyle Arrington that's movin' on up. Interesting.

I guess Wilhite won't be playing this week. Makes you wonder what's up. He was playing great, I hope it's just a one week deal.
