Patriots Adjust Roster Ahead of Browns Clash
The New England Patriots are finalizing their roster preparations ahead of their crucial Week 8 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The front office has made significant roster adjustments that can impact the game significantly.
Patrick’s Roster Moves
As the Patriots gear up for the game, they find themselves in a favorable health position. Currently, they only have one player, safety Kyle Dugger, listed on the injury report. Dugger is questionable due to a knee injury.
New Additions to the Active Roster
- The Patriots elevated running back Terrell Jennings to the active roster.
- Safety Richie Grant was also promoted from the practice squad.
These moves were shared in a post by the team on X. Jennings, now the third-string running back, steps up following the injury to Antonio Gibson, who suffered a torn ACL in Week 5. Last week, Jennings recorded 18 yards on five carries during the game.
Richie Grant, a former second-round pick, previously spent his first four NFL years with the Atlanta Falcons. His promotion marks his first game this season after joining the Patriots’ practice squad earlier this month. The elevation of Grant raises concerns about Dugger’s availability for the game, although the rest of the team appears to be in good shape.
Upcoming Game Details
The Patriots will face the Cleveland Browns in an exciting matchup. The kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. Fans eagerly anticipate how these roster changes will affect the game outcomes.
