PATRIOTS NEWS Practice Squad Signings

[ctpatsfan77]

It could be that they're not sure how long the injuries will keep them out. @ctpatsfan77 mentioned that the DTR for players yesterday was automatic. Whereas, players IRed today, it's not. So the Pats may be keeping their options open with the remaining 7 DTR slots.

I'm sorry if you understood it that way, but that's not what I meant. If teams want to bring back a player placed on IR on cutdown day, they have to use the DTR designation that day. But they're not required to use the DTR tag on such players if they know they won't be ready this season (e.g., ACL tears).

For players placed on IR after cutdowns, they can wait until the player is ready to start practicing.

Lazar’s thoughts on the 12 in the below article (same one I also posted in other TE/LB thread)…. I quote on the one outside pickup & odd parts only for brevity - copyright etc…

P Mitch Wishnowsky - the Patriots needed short-term insurance for top P Bryce Baringer, who avoided injured reserve but his status is unknown for Week 1 after a preseason injury. Wishnowsky appeared in 13 games for the Bills last season with a 41.8 net average.

RB Lan Larison - …... A good get for the Pats to keep him in the building.
RB Hassan Haskins - …… he could be the next man up if there's an injury to one of the top-three …..
CB Kindle Vildor - Vildor made his pitch ….with three PBUs on one series vs. the Eagles …..
S Mike Brown - ….was brought in as a free agent …...
WR Kyle Dixon - …..was banged up throughout camp. …..good athlete ……to get a longer look at …….
WR Cameron Dorner - ……near the top of my list among the Patriots cuts to bring back on the practice squad …..
DT Eric Gregory - ….was in the mix to make the roster as a run-stuffing NT. ….can clog rushing lanes ….But the minus plays ….
DT Jeremiah Pharms Jr.- …always flashes in camp as an interior pass-rusher, …..Depth …
C Jacob Rizy - …..backup center for the Patriots in training camp and was a bit shaky when elevated …..
LB Riley Wilson - …flashed ….as a run defender and blitzer ….. plays in space were inconsistent ….
OT Lorenz Metz - As an international pathway program player, Metz doesn't count toward the practice squad limit …..
