Pats make series of roster moves

[DaBruinz]

As reported by Mike Reiss and posted in the transaction thread

Josh Farmer to the IR
Sebastian Gutierrez released from the PS
Elijah Mitchell - RB - to the PS
Brendan Smith - WR to the PS
Brenden Jaimes - OC/OG to the active roster.

The move NOT made:
Milton Williams activated from IR

The Jared Wilson concussion bears watching. Wilson could be IRed to open a space for Williams. Which would explain them signing Jaimes to the 53.

This seems to indicate Farmer's season is over, most likely. Unfortunate.

Very likely you're correct that his season is over depending on the severity of the injury, the Play-off seed the Pats end up with and how far the Pats go.

In theory, Farmer could be eligible to return for the Conference game if the Pats are anything but the 1 seed or the SB if the Pats are the 1 seed and make it that far if Farmer's injury isn't a tear or broken bone.

Do you mean someone else besides Jared Wilson? He was in on the go ahead touchdown and played all 74 offensive snaps.

I just read Vrabels transcript from today, he indeed did say Jared Wilson is in the protocol. Did he slip on a bar of soap in the shower? He played every snap Sunday night.

Could be he reported symptoms after the game.

Could be as Tune mentioned or it could be that one of the NFL's "EYES in the Sky" saw something and reported it after the game.

Jaimes is pronounced "high mess." Not an editorial comment. Just news you can use.

Rapoport says Williams has been designated to return from IR... should be available to come back for at least 1 game, reg. season, according to this guy

Is IR still 4 GAMES in playoffs, or does a BYE Week count in wait period?

Post game celebration got out of hand? Too much head butting? Head butting without helmets?

We will probably never know.

It is still 4 games. Bye weeks don't count.

DTR was never in question.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what that is all about - Jaimes has been with them on the PS since early this season and I thought had been elevated at least once in the past. He grades out as mediocre as Wilson does - but it's a healthy body who's practiced with them for a few months so seems like a good backup to Ben Brown.
