I thought it would take a couple of weeks to have a relatively stabilized roster. We're getting ready for Game 4 and Belichick is still refining the roster. Perhaps we will have a better idea of the roster after the bye, and after the decisions are made regarding the players on the PUP lsit.
=========================
The defense has a lot of players injured and lots of extra players on the roster. None have gotten more than 1 rep on defense. All have filled in at special teams while folks are injured.

I make the presumption that Wright's position would go to Cohen if he were put on IR.
================================================== ====

THE BOTTOM OF THE ROSTER
Ventrone, Adams, Tarp, Molden, Ihedigbo

SOME POSSIBILITIES
tight end (Gronkowski?
fullback (Polite?)
swing OT
safety

I thought this question would be asked by now.
Is Aaron Hernandez playing this Sunday?

I say we see him just before bye week

Assume Bodden, Dowling, McCourty, Arrington, Chung, and Barrett are all healthy. It still would be the case that Bodden, Dowling, and Barrett all have considerable injury histories, that Chung plays in a way that tends to get him banged up, that Arrington has had one concussion this year, and that McCourty is more physical than many at their position. I.e., the top-of-roster DBs are, as a group, fragile. So we need a few more behind them.

But yes, getting back to 3 TEs, or 2 and a FB, or 3 and a FB would make sense.

Jets game, 10/9.

Any defensive players are a must in my opinion. I know we have a lot of injuries at the moment and the defence as it is needs time to gell, but we really do need to get tighter at the back.

Haley

We need another solid Safety.

With all the injuries, none of these players played defense (except for Molden for one play). I'd rather have a free safety and Cohen than any of these players.

At the moment, we need special teams help, but hopefully Dowling, Arrington and Chung are healthier and a couple of these guys can go.

I would guess the week after the bye, giving him 2 addtional weeks to get stronger.

Sciz

With injuries in the back 7 and the next man up getting more defensive playing time, they sorely need special teamers. Of the 5 guys you mentioned, 3 played on all 4 main special teams units, and Molden played on two. Adams did not play on any.
