Jersey updates for any numerologists out there:

#16 is now available due to the retirement of Andrew Hawkins. In 2016 it belonged to Devin Lucien, who is wearing #13 this year.

The most recent victims of the curse of #17 are Devin Street (claimed off waivers May 2; released May 24) and DeAndrew White (re-signed May 21; released June 22).
WR Tony Washington from Appalachian State is the soon to be next victim of #17.

#33d is CB Will Likely, sharing that uniform number with Dion Lewis.

#59 is OL James Ferentz, who was signed May 18.

#64 was assigned to DE Caleb Kidder. It had been most recently worn by OL Chris Barker, who was released May 18.

#66 is available due to the release of G Chase Farris.

#85 is now property of TE Sam Cotton, who was signed May 18. It was last worn by TE Michael Williams, who was re-signed March 9 and released May 12.

#86 is open after TE Rob Housler was released on May 17 due to a failed physical.

Say goodbye to strong safety Dwayne Thomas, #27 blue on your program.

Pats bring in DE Keionta Davis, a rookie UDFA from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Bill Belichick flew down to TN to work Thomas out last spring, but he went unsigned until a bulging disk was healed.

What are the restrictions with IR players?

Can they attend team meetings?

Yes, they can attend team meetings, use the facilities, get access to doctors and trainers to rehab, etc.

They cannot practice, however.

Patriots acquired DE/LB Marquis Flowers from the Bengals for a 7th round pick.

Bengals trade Marquis Flowers to New England

 

[jmt57]

For those wanting to see how the new players perform in this week's game, add these to your scorecard.

#46 -- OLB Christian Kuntz
#59 -- OLB Marquis Flowers
#64 -- DE Mikey Bart
#66 -- DE Nick Usher

 

[jmt57]

Well, the C Kuntz era (and accompanying jokes) did not last long. I had assumed Flowers roster spot would be created by placing Edelman on IR rather than releasing another player.

 

[captain stone]

Hey, my Kuntz post was deleted!

I smell something fishy here...

 

[captain stone]

[DaBruinz]
