Default Pats to activate Troy Brown

http://www.newburyportnews.com/puspo...yword=topstory

Quote:
One of New England’s favorite sons isn’t going anywhere. The Patriots informed Troy Brown today that he will be activated to the 53-man roster this week.

Brown, who has been injured for what would be his 15th season with the Patriots, was informed of the move today by Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.

The move could be considered a surprise, with the fact the team is 11-0 and apparently loaded at the wide receiver position with the 2007 additions of Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Donte Stallworth and Kelley Washington. With Jabar Gaffney, a hold-over from a year ago, and 2006 second round draft pick Chad Jackson still with the team, there didn’t appear to be much room.

But about a week ago Belichick intimated that there would be a roster spot for Brown.

Isn't this the same as the Burt guys report?

Yep. Both newspapers are part of the same chain.

Default Troy activated, Colvin to IR, Chad Brown signed [merged]

http://www.bostonherald.com/blogs/sp...-colvin-on-ir/

ETA: Welcome back, Troy! As for Colvin, yes it stinks that he's gone for the year. However, AD has looked better at OLB than ILB in recent weeks and I think BB agrees as the Bruschi/Seau ILB combo has seen much more playing time than any ILB combo with AD lately. AD in Colvin's spot will look great as long as both he and Vrabel remain healthy. This isn't like going from Colvin to TBC.

Regards,
Chris

Kareem Brown released - not sure if he'll make it to the Practice Squad.

Crappy day.

Huge loss in Colvin. Worst possible news, other than waiving Troy.

Colvin hurt is big... Chad Brown can not replace Monty Beisel let alone Colvin.. Good to see Brown back, but the Karreem Brown goes to prove that the Pats did not care about this draft..
