Ventrone banged up
Safety Ray Ventrone has been placed on the "exempt/NFL Europe" injured list after undergoing shoulder surgery.
The procedure is expected to keep Ventrone out of action at next week's mandatory team minicamp, according to agent Joe Linta. Ventrone's availability for the start of training camp is also in doubt.
Ventrone, who spent the 2005 season on the Patriots' practice squad, is one of nine safeties vying for a spot on the team's roster. He played a full season in NFL Europe this spring.
In addition to Ventrone, running back Earl Charles; wide receivers Rich Musinski and Zuriel Smith; and cornerback Antwain Spann are Patriots players who also have been placed on the "exempt/NFL Europe" injured list.
LOOK AHEAD: Barring any unexpected transactions, we'll plan on posting our next update on Monday. It should be a busy week, with the Patriots' Charitable Golf Tournament on Monday, followed by coverage of the team's mandatory minicamp from Tuesday-Thursday. We'll look forward to providing reports throughout the week.
