Who's getting the axe then? By my count, Moore has a spot because of the roster exemption for Spikes' suspension, and Wilhite went on IR to make room for Leonard.

Don't we already have 53? Bye Clayton!

That release would make the most sense with Law Firm playing well and Taylor fresh and waiting in the wings.

We now have 9 defenseive backs, one more than we've been carrying.

Jackson was brought in in anticipation of Wilhite's being placed on IR.

If Tony Carter is bring brought up, it could be Jackson or even Sergio Brown that goes, or even someone else being placed on IR.
==========

I expect the transaction to be Jackson or someone moving to IR.

Could this be anticipating that McCourty will be unavailable for tomorrow's game?

DLinemen going on IR, Brace, Pryor or Wright ?

I think it's more or less about Wilhite going on IR.

That would seem the most logical but I am fearful that it will be someone from the d-line (over 290 lbs).

I look at the current roster....

Wilfork
Brace- hurt
Wright- hurt
Pryor-hurt
Leonard
Warren- hurt, but practiced
Love
Deaderick
Washington (PQ)
Richards (PQ)

As it stands right now, the team has 5 healthy D-lineman. BB had 6 earlier in the year on the 45 man roster. Gotta wonder if one will go to IR??

I don't envision Sergio Brown being released, the Pats signed him to a 4-yr contract when they promoted him from PS with a bonus as well. I could see one of the DL to IR or one of Ohrenberger, Clayton getting released. It seems that Wright's problem is more serious than a concussion, I think I read he has a neck issue as well. Could be him. Although he would be sorely missed on 3rd down rush package.

I asked Rap on twitter about where the roster space came from, and he said it is still unclear!

Maybe a special teams move?

OT:

Terrence Wheatley, former Patriot and current Buccaneer, is now on the IR with hamstring issues.

Re: Rappaport: Pats to promote CB Tony Carter from PS

Hate to say it but Wheatley was made of glass.......

Is Thomas Clayton still on the team?

I hear Belichick loves it when agents make these sort of announcements on behalf of the team ...

Yes, but maybe not for long...

Re: Rappaport: Pats to promote CB Tony Carter from PS

Chevis Jackson released to make room for Carter according to Mike Reiss' Twitter.

Gotta hand it to him for his consistency
