Some support for the linebacker and special teams group arrives today as the Patriots make Jack Cichy their third waiver claim of the season.
Patriots have claimed LB Jack Cichy on waivers from the Buccaneers. Cichy (6-2, 238) fits the profile of a tough, high-effort, high-character core special teamer. He has battled injuries at Wisconsin and since entering NFL as a 6th round pick in 2018. A $750k base salary in '21.

Cichy has battled various injuries since he was drafted by Tampa Bay in 2018, now, he joins the Patriots main roster following his release yesterday.
He’ll need to clear COVID protocols before being eligible to join the rest of the team, a new late-season addition to analyze as the team heads down the final stretch.

In the first game of their 2018 season playoff run, the Patriots hosted the Chargers at Gillette Stadium.
The first quarter saw 21 points scored in what was an exciting encounter. On the game’s first possession, the Patriots roared downfield with ease to allow Sony Michel to walk in the ball for the opening score.
[Read more…] about Patriots Preview: Week 13 vs Los Angeles ChargersI never, ever, get tired of VICTORY MONDAY! Now, yesterday’s win wasn’t the most glamorous in franchise history, but it sure felt good. Here are the ups and downs from Week 12.
Adam Butler is top of the ups today, and for good reason. He was the star performer in yesterday’s close win against Arizona. Butler caused problems during the game whilst recording a sack, two tackles for loss, three QB hits, and, a deflected pass which led to the Adrian Phillips interception.
Adam Butler powered through two guys for the sack 💪 @il_never_quit70 @Patriots

The pressure Butler put on Murray was important in not allowing Arizona to become settled in their passing game. I’m a big fan of Butler, hope he continues to take strides and stay healthy.

After all but confirming his season was over this past week on social media, Burkhead’s movement to the reserve list isn’t surprising, Nor is Wynn’s, he also picked up a knock also in last Sunday’s game.

With Tom Brady serving the first of his four-game suspension for his role in “Deflategate”, Jimmy Garoppolo started in his place.
It didn’t take long for him to get off to the perfect start, on the Patriots first drive, Garoppolo saw Chris Hogan open deep and found him for a 37-yard touchdown.
