Bill Belichick says by the end of the day, expect a move on the 53-man roster. No hints. "Want to keep you guessing."

With DL Myron Pryor (groin) not finishing Sunday's game and DL Mike Wright (concussion) likely out, highlights need for interior DL.

BTW, I thought Landon Cohen was an absolute beast in those pre-season games. He was playing alot early in those games against first stringers.

Wow, I would have assumed some other team would have snagged him minutes after he was cut.

Agreed, I think we're lucky to get him back.

Pryor not Wright. Must break shmessy's heart that Rapoport was right.

I'd be surprised if Pryor is around next year at this point. Either way, not a big loss.

Gonna have to disagree there. Pryor would be big loss in my mind.

Welcome to the big team, Cohen! Hopefully he can contribute to our passrush. The Pats injuries kinda piled up in that last game against the Chargers.

Yeah but we've also seen flashes of good, quality play from him too.

He's only been here 2 yrs, one of which had us all talking about his potential (rookie), and one where he was hurt with a back injury for a good part (yr two).

I'm personally pulling for Pryor, but you're right to say that it's not like the loss would be felt around the world either.

I guess we'll disagree. He's probably in the bottom third of players I fear losing to IR, and I really don't see much of a downgrade between him and Cohen (assuming Cohen's play in preseason is at all representative).
