Pats moves
By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff
The Patriots confirmed the release of veteran punter Josh Miller today. The team also announced that it has claimed offensive lineman Chris Patrick off waivers from the Giants, and that it has released offensive lineman Brian Barthelmes.
Some information on Patrick, who played at the University of Nebraska and was eligible for this year's supplemental draft:
Patrick, 22, was signed by the New York Giants as an undrafted rookie free agent on July 18, 2007. The 6-foot-4-inch, 280-pound offensive lineman played in the Giants’ preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers on Aug. 11, 2007. He was waived by New York yesterday. The Ithaca, Mich. native played in 18 games with 14 starts for Nebraska over three seasons from 2004-06. Patrick has position flexibility to play guard and tackle, and is a longer shot to earn a roster spot.
Meanwhile, the 24-year-old Barthelmes was one of the Patriots allocations to NFL Europa this spring. He was a member of the Patriots' practice squad for 12 weeks during the 2006 regular season and playoffs. Barthelmes can play center and guard.
