INACTIVES
LB Dont'a Hightower
TE Devin Asiasi
G Yasir Durant
RB Rhamondre Stevenson
CB Shaun Wade
DE Ronnie Perkins
Hightower is a little bit of a shocker. Would expect to see a safety in the box a lot.
Stevenson, after being productive last week, is the big shock. He is a healthy scratch. That would indicate, possibly, that they didn't like something behind the scenes.
JJ Taylor is active. Hooray!
ROSTER MOVES
The Patriots placed CB Jonathan Jones on injured reserve, meaning he's out at least three weeks. Expect Myles Bryant to take his place in the slot. That's an obvious downgrade, but Bryant is solid and allows them to keep JC Jackson and Jalen Mills on the outside.
Patriots elevated DL Daniel Ekuale (Davon Godchaux, Christian Barmore, Deatrich Wise are all questionable) and C/G James Ferentz (Shaq Mason still iffy) from the practice squad. Give me Barmore, Lawrence Guy and Ekuale and I bet that group does better than with Wise and Godchaux against the run.
