- Patriots injury report notes: 🏈 No. 4 OT Dametrious Crownover (knee) ruled out; could bump Walter Rouse up to 48-man game-day roster for depth/FB protection unit 🏈 OLB Dre’Mont Jones (foot/questionable) limited all week; seemed to be in good spirits/routine in locker room … position thin overall 🏈 CB Carlton Davis III (neck/questionable) doesn’t practice all week, but team holds out hope soreness subsides 🏈 Full clearance for RB TreVeyon Henderson and LB Robert Spillane
- Some Patriots thoughts/news nuggets: 🏈This was a straight-forward cut-down day. No shocking moves. One of the more interesting decisions was keeping quarterback Behren Morton, the 2026 seventh-round pick from Texas Tech, as the third option. It speaks to the importance of the position; notable that four teams kept four QBs on initial 53-man rosters (Eagles, Falcons, Steelers, Vikings), which is unusual. 🏈Would be shocked if the Patriots don’t aggressively address OLB, either on the practice squad or a waiver claim. Teams aren’t giving quality pass-rushers away, but a player like Caleb Murphy – who played five games for the Patriots last season, was waived by the Giants, and would be a plug-and-play core special teamer at minimum – would provide the team with some much-needed experienced OLB depth. 🏈Five. That’s the number of players I believe would have been on the initial 53-man roster if not for injuries and it’s a reminder that when the topic of the Patriots’ lack of depth is…

Walter Rouse (6-6, 330) is a third-year player out of Oklahoma.
Patriots build depth, and this is similar to the trade for RB Corey Kiner in that the 31st waiver-claim position leads team to be more aggressive rather than wait. · Quoting Ian Rapoport: The #Patriots are trading for former #Vikings OT Walter Rouse, source says, as it's a 6th rounder/7th round flop. Rather than a release, Rouse is dealt.
