Here’s Sunday supplement for all of the latest news ahead of Monday night’s Week 9 encounter against the New York Jets.
Check out my preview for today’s match up here.
Roster Moves
Main Roster
WR Isaiah Ford (Acquired in a trade with Miami)
DT Isaiah Mack (Claimed on waivers from Tennessee)
Practice Squad
WR Donte Moncrief
DT Ryan Glasgow
Released
NONE
Placed On IR
TE Devin Asiasi
The trade deadline came and went with the Patriots acquiring just one player, WR Isaiah Ford from Miami. Isaiah Mack was also claimed to help build up the defensive front ranks. Donte Moncreif and Ryan Glasgow are interesting adds to the PS, I could see both of them getting activated on game days if they stick around.
Devin Asiasi will miss at least three games as he was placed on IR, this now raises some questions about the TE position in general, Dalton Keene and Ryan Izzo are still banged up also.
Zach Cox noted that Rashod Berry’s position has changed to just “TE” now on the team’s official website. This could nod towards him helping out the position.

16 Players are questionable to play for the Patriots, including starters Stephon Gilmore, Shaq Mason, Joe Thuney, Nick Folk, Lawrence Guy, Deatrich Wise, and more. Here’s hoping everyone can rest up and be good to go, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a few miss out, especially the likes of Guy and Wise, both of who are suffering from multiple ailments.
The Jets look set to rely on the services of veteran QB Joe Flacco on Monday night as Sam Darnold is doubtful to play with a shoulder injury. Also doubtful is their 3rd pick from this year’s draft Quinnen Williams, who would be a huge loss for the Jets defense.
Salary Cap Check-In
As always, here’s your weekly check-in from @patscap! The current cap number stands at $21,702,141 following this week’s roster moves.
In the end, Gilmore stayed and the Patriots didn’t make any major splashes at the trade deadline. Whilst the cap will fluctuate with roster moves each week, we shouldn’t see any major changes unless the team starts restructuring contracts.
