Farrow was a practice player of the week and could be added for Buffalo. Candidates for opening a roster spot include Davis, Grissom, etc., or someone to IR (e.g. Rowe).
Grissom has been limited in practice and out for the past four consecutive games.
Rowe was out with his chronic groin injury for weeks 3-5, played limited snaps the past two games, apparently re-aggravated it in Chicago and didn't practice today. Rowe was on the injury report in 2017 for 12 consecutive weeks with a groin injury, and missed 8 regular season games.
I don't think either one can be "legally" cut under the circumstances. Given his history with this groin issue, Rowe to IR seems to make the most sense to me. Grissom is a high-value special-teamer at least (typically plays on all four units).
Since the Pats didn't make a move for another RB before practice (no new faces reported), it seems that they're unlikely to this week. That still leaves the possibility of promoting Farrow over the weekend.
However, if the Pats don't acquire a new RB, and don't promote Farrow, that may be the most solid indicator we could ever have that Sony won't be out for long (much better than media speculation).
