Him and Watson cleared waivers.

Teams have one day to claim a player on waivers, and Jones was released three days ago, so he must have cleared waivers.

Observations from New England Patriots camp: Day 21 - espnBoston

Portions of Mike Reiss' column:

Eagles' opinion on Easley: This was our second day to watch first-round draft choice Dominque Easley in individual pass-rush drills (he didn't partake in full-team drills). In the one-on-one portion of practice, veteran right guard Todd Herremans rode Easley off with relative ease. Backup right guard Dennis Kelly(3rd year, Purdue) had similar success on a second rep as Easley lined up as a 3-technique (outside shade on guard) and his rush was stopped. After the practice, we asked Herremans for some first impressions on Easley. "I went against him once today and got my hands on him quick. ... He's a hard rusher, with a good get-off on the ball. He had a couple wins in there today." Easley had a bit more success in the two-on-two drills, teaming with Chandler Jones on one rep and getting some encouragement from position coach Brendan Daly afterwards.

Who’s winning one-on-ones?: In the secondary, cornerback Logan Ryan intercepted Eagles quarterback Nick Foles on a pass intended for Brad Smith. ... Cornerback Darrelle Revis looked like he slowed up again while working against Eagles receiver Jeremy Maclin. With Maclin leaving practice after he felt a "grabbing" of his hamstring, that was the big news story at practice. ... Cornerback Alfonzo Dennard had an effective jam on receiverJosh Huff, as well as a notable pass breakup. ... Patriots offensive linemen mostly had a tough time, perhaps with footing an issue. Right guard Josh Kline was steamrolled by undrafted rookie Frances Mays (Florida A&M), one of several decisive wins for the Eagles. ... At center, Ryan Wendell seemed to have more success than Dan Connolly, who was pushed back by Cedric Thornton on one rep.

Sort of.. Stork wasn't in pads.

He hasn't been at practice at all lately, either. So I'm hoping thisis a good sign for his progression after the injury, but we'll see.

Coming soon: The Revenge of Chung!

Duron Harmon – The second-year safety was the presumed starter next to
Devin McCourty heading into camp after a strong spring. But he’s been just one of a litany of bodies taking reps at that spot this summer and has done nothing to stand out. It’s starting to feel like returning veteran Patrick Chung is making a real run at the starting job.

"Chung is making a real, run at the starting job". Well if it is anything like when he is making a real run at a ball carrier, he will likely wiff completely. j/k

Keep trolling, but troll someone else. The issue isn't whether you play to the whistle when you think the play is, or might be, still live. The issue is whether you keep playing when you think a play is dead, even if you didn't hear a whistle.

That's a huge difference, but one you're ignoring because you're trolling. You and I, though. We're done here.

It's not up to a player to "think when a play is dead" that is not a discretionary option for a player - - especially when it does not include tackling, but coverage of a WR. Football 101.

Fact.

Just an fyi, the interception was tipped into Chung's hands and he juggled it before holding on to it.

These losses by our O-linemen are starting to worry me.

RIpats88 · Aug 13, 2014

lots of reports seem to indicate that Brady and Lafell are really connecting on the field lately and he is gunning for that starting WR job. thats good news to hear, especially if Dobson can pick up where he left off last year.

two tall athletic receivers who can play down the field

I was going to make a similar joke: Chung is making a run at the starting safety job, but due to his angle is now the starting punter.

Yah, the OL is moving up on my worry list with a new OL coach, Solder whiffing and Stork's missing camp.

All the good things we see from Brady, the receiving corps, and the running backs goes up in smoke if the OL gets whipped consistently.

Still plenty of time to shore things up, but yes, this is becoming my biggest concern.

varjao · Aug 13, 2014

yeah Stork gives signals that he's not ready to be a starter this season, so we will either end up with Connoly there or once again Wendell

A new worry priority in the OL? What about the offense putting up so many points last year, and the line being replenished by studs in the draft? Has Revis made us abandon our worries about the pass rush? Or perhaps this is the year Bequette's measurables push him onto the field (and into the backfield)? Is everyone still on the "top 5 defense" bandwagon?

Hopefully he is just taking the Allen Iverson approach this week. If it starts happening in games I'd be worried. Let's see what happens in the 1st quarter Friday.

That was all very disjointed...what exactly are you saying?
