The Practice Squad And Further Transactions

Krause is on the Eagles' PS now, so he is definitely not on the Pats' IR.
The AFC rosters page on Wikipedia doesn't list any of Boyce, Groy or Hughes on the Pats' IR either.

Just FYI, while the Wikipedia rosters are in my opinion the best on the internet, they can mix up minor details like missing IR players no one has heard of + positional designations. For example, I have to revert Rufus Johnson's position to DE every goddamn week because people refuse to believe he's not a linebacker, as the Patriots.com wildly inaccurate "official" roster states.

The NFLPA page https://www.nflpa.com/public-salary-cap-report
shows the Patriots with 75 players
53-man roster
3 PUP
1 IR-DTR
10 man practice squad
8 players on IR (Boyce, Hughes, Tyms, Roberts, Gaffney, Derby, Develin and Gibson)

I guess this issue will be solved when the NFLPA recognizes the injury deals with Hughes and Boyce. As you know, patriots.com agrees with you that neither is on our IR.

What injury deals with Hughes and Boyce?
I think that Boyce and Hughes are on IR.

Not according to the Pats site.



EDIT: Just saw mgteich's post. So maybe Boyce and Hughes are missing until the NFLPA stuff is resolved?

The Patriots.Com website has sometimes not shown all of the players who were on IR. It did not show Krause who was on IR until he was recently waived from IR

So to clarify if a player with a non-guaranteed contract is on IR, he can possibly simply be waived as opposed to say, an injury settlement goodbye kiss?

The Patriots "official" roster is really not a good source for anything recent (generally better once transactions go official, though). Do you really think Patriots roster personnel are the ones publishing it? No...it's probably a web development intern who knows peripherally how football works.

Using Ryan Groy as an example the Patriots placed him on IR in early September. He then became healthy enough to reach an injury settlement with Patriots. His injury settlement was for 8 weeks. Groy had to go through the waiver process once again.

Sean Hickey >>> Santa Clausell, who has no future whatsoever on this team.

Gotta think Fleming gets promoted to the 53 once they IR Solder.

I would keepp Solder on the 53 and just have him inactive each week, if there is even the slightest chance that he could play in the POs, because Marcus Cannonfodder is a total disaster at LT.
