Patriots Roster Transactions 10/17

by

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!

Patriots placing RB Damien Harris on IR, promoting UDFA RB J.J. Taylor to the active roster

A busy end to the day as the Patriots are promoting UDFA RB J.J. Taylor to the active roster in addition to placing RB Damien Harris on IR. The biggest news here is that the Patriots streak of UDFA’s making the roster continues.

Harris was one of the potential candidates I projected for IR in last week’s Sunday supplement, he injured his finger during camp which required surgery. Although not overly surprising, this is disappointing as I’d hoped to see Harris finally get his opportunity with the team, that’s now on hold for the time being.

Both DT Beau Allen and Harris will miss at least three weeks until they’re eligible to return.

Further movement in the Pats camp today as Field Yates reports that the team is placing DT Beau Allen on IR.

Hardly a surprise, with Allen absent for almost every training session through-out camp, his trip to the injured reserve list is now confirmed. Now, with the newly implemented IR rules, a player can return to the main roster after three weeks, but I’ve got a feeling that Allen won’t be back anytime soon.
