The Patriots made two minor roster moves on Saturday, waiving cornerback Thad Turner and waiving/injured offensive lineman Kyle Hix. Both players were considered longshots to make the 53-man roster.

Turner was signed to the Patriots' practice squad on November 9, 2010 after signing with the Colts as an undrafted free agent the previous spring. He was re-signed to a future contract on January 17.

An undrafted free agent out of Texas, Hix had missed the past five training camp practices with an undisclosed injury. By being waived/injured, Hix will be placed on the Patriots' injured reserve list if he is not first claimed by another team off waivers.

The Patriots' roster now stands at 88 players, two shy of the 90-player maximum.

Shawn Ellis and Matt Roth would make me very happy.

I'm hoping for one of Shaun Ellis and Andre Carter and one of Brian Waters and Leonard Davis.

We'd just have to cancel the season. Those are the two missing pieces.

I don't know why, but I get the feeling we are going to bring back Fred Taylor and we'll all be confused. Vereen isn't practicing, Faulk is on PUP.

Or maybe the reverse. Maybe he's trying to say something.

Sounds like Taylor wants to be a new jersey string bean.
Im hoping defensive ends or Linebacker as well.
