We all knew this situation but Reiss does a nice job of tying it together and comparing it to 2003 and 2005 season totals.

Since the start of training camp, the Patriots have placed 14 players on season-ending injured reserve, which is the team's highest total since the current injured reserve rules went into effect in 1993.
The IR situation, coupled with other injuries, has tested the team's depth.
Overall, the Patriots have had 41 different starting players this season. This comes close to rivaling 2005 when the Patriots used 45 different starters, and 2003, when the team's 42 different starters were the most by a Super Bowl champion....
