Torry Holt Placed on Season-Ending Injured Reserve, Tom Brady Practices Without Tape - New England Patriots - NESN.com

I didn't have him making the final roster anyways, so I'm not really surprised by the news, and it doesn't worry me very much. Being in his mid-30s, it strikes me that this wouldn't be a "stashing" move, since if he could play there would be a lot more reason to just cut him and give him a chance to sign somewhere else or leave open the possibility of re-signing him in the event of injuries. Must be a legit season-ending injury, I'd guess.

Well at least it gives some of the younger guys a better chance at making the roster?

My guess is that Thomas Williams now has a good chance at a roster spot. BTW, that was the guess by Reiss a couple of days ago (Williams on the roster, Holt not on the roster).

Tough break for Holt. Here's to a speedy recovery for him and some semblance of a career after he gets healthy...

Damn that sucks. At the least would have given us good depth somewhere we need it. If Tate goes down at any point now we could have the same wideout problems that hurt us last year, unless Price really suprises this year.

JC, Thank god Buddy Farnam is back.

Well, if it's not a full-season recovery he could go the Larry Centers route and return late season (so says the optimist).

i really hope Leigh Bodden, and Jermaine Cunningham, are ok so far two of the guys that did not play in that game are on IR now

1. Moss
2. Welker
3. Tate
4. Edelman
5. Price

I hope Tate is ready to be the guy opposite of Moss. The 4 WR sets will be nice to see with Wes/Edelman on the field at the same time. 1 more WR injury and I will start getting nervous.

I didn't think he was going to make the team anyway. I hope this isn't the end of his career though.
