It feels like this is a never-ending cycle of disappointment and frustration. Per Field Yates, the Patriots have placed three more players on the reserve/COVID list, they’ve also elevated a number of players to the main roster.
Placed On Reserve/COVID List
RB Sony Michel
OL Shaq Mason
DE Derek Rivers
It’s important to remember that anyone who’s placed on the reserve/COVID list either has tested positive for COVID-19 or has been in close contact with someone who tested positive.
Promoted From Practice Squad
OL Caleb Benenoch
DE Rashod Berry (CV19 Replacement)
WR Isaiah Zuber (CV19 Replacement)
DT Nick Thurman (CV19 Replacement)
Benenoch will provide extra depth for the offensive front now Shaq Mason will miss out, Berry who was a former TE in college may get a chance to feature along with Thurman for some support at DT. I’m also delighted to see Isaiah Zuber be involved again, he’s shown some promise already this season.
Keep an eye out for my game day supplement tomorrow morning!
