After releasing linebacker Otis Reese, the New England Patriots headed into the weekend with one open spot on their roster. They filled it on Monday: the team of head coach Mike Vrabel signed defensive tackle Casey Rogers following a successful workout.
Let's ******* what the move means.
Besides filling out their 90-man roster, the Patriots now also have 10 defensive tackles on their roster; the team effectively replaced Otis Reese's roster spot with an interior defensive lineman. However, as a seemingly trivial look at the jersey numbers shows, more change might be afoot:
Interior defensive line (10):Milton Williams (97), Christian Barmore (90), Cory Durden (94), Joshua Farmer (92), Leonard Taylor III (93), Eric Gregory (95), Jeremiah Pharms Jr. (98), Isaiah Iton (62), David Blay Jr. (96), Casey Rogers (96)
At the moment, the team has ******* igned both Rogers and undrafted rookie David Blay Jr. the No. 96 jersey. That might in itself not mean much, but with the latter ominously absent from practice on Monday, it appears another move could very well be on the horizon.
