Wow... Aikens would fit in nicely. He was VERY good on special teams while with New England.

This does seem like good news. As Derek mentioned it would seem as if Leonard being released is a sign that one or more defensive linemen are getting healthier - and that none of them are headed to IR. And if the Pats can find room on the roster for Aiken, that should improve all four special teams units too.

Picked him up, didn't use him when in desperate need of a body for a few snaps, then release him.

I doubt it means we're all healthy, probably he didn't impress.

Hard to get excited about Aiken, but s teams have looked shaky. Hope we keep looking for a big body. We've got an extra running back, at least. Either IR Taylor or cut Clayton if we can find a DL with any chance of filling in for a few snaps.

Aiken was not "very good" for the Pats on special teams. He was average. And, in all honesty, the Pats cut him for a reason. That they wanted to go a different way.

With Connolly's status up in the air, the Pats could sign Thomas Austin from the practice squad. Or, if they are truly worried about special teams (which I don't think they are cause they've actually been very good a limiting the returns of teams), Pierre Woods would be a better candidate.

I'd take Aiken back, he was actually a decent reciever. He's hard to tackle, it's just you don't want him as your #2 option. Him coming in once in a while as a 4th or 5th option wouldn't be bad. As for special teams, I don't pay close enough attention to really comment on that.

In his report, Reiss did say that Brace was at a charity event and Pryor was walking around the locker room. Thats positive.

BB did say that Wright is doing better but Reiss has not seen him since the Indy game.

OK, but who were the others that were working out? Would have been nice to have all the information.
