Why? Are we suddenly in need of defensive backs?

Gives a little insight in regards to the pats thoughts in the defensive backfield-perhaps?

Mitchell is gone. Jones is out. We need a practice player.

Training camp fodder?

The 5-foot-8-inch, 185-pound defender recorded 39 passes defensed during his collegiate career

A little light for ILB, but I'll give him a try.

Pats1 can correct me, but I believe this fills our Training Camp complement once again.

We had folks expecting a veteran LB, or another WR, instead they bring back a young kid they worked with during the spring and give him some more time in the system. He was probably cut to give the team room for someone else on the roster for the balance they needed to start camp. He may be a good candidate for NFLE, or they may want to see him in a special teams environment. Camp fodder only in the sense that his chances right now are low, but he intrigues them enough to get more work when they can afford to provide him the training time. Good luck kid.
