Wait what? I thought he had a minor ding.WInder if this means K’Neal is going on IR.

Froholdt would not be my guess for an IR-DTR guy. He's more of a redshirt year guy.According to ESPN's Todd Archer: if teams want to place a player on returnable IR, that player has to be on the 53-man roster for a day.
So someone like Froholdt could be on the roster Sunday and on returnable IR on Monday.
Agree 100%. Too much baggage.
Yeah I don't get why do Dawson trade even more (less) nowHappy for Gunner but I thought Crossen had the makings of a really good NFL player. It sure how I feel about that move.
Yeah, as noted above it could be more a guy like Harry (who could easily have a more serious injury {high ankle sprain?} than they've let on) .Froholdt would not be my guess for an IR-DTR guy. He's more of a redshirt year guy.
I would imagine it’s because he wasn’t as good as Crossen and they wanted some value for a guy they were about to cut regardless. I don’t see those two decisions being connected in any wayYeah I don't get why do Dawson trade even more (less) now
So if no NFL team claims him, he looks to be the 11th guy on the practice squad.The four AFC East clubs will carry these overseas players on their roster until the end of training camp. At that time, the players are eligible for an international player practice squad exemption, granting them an eleventh practice squad member that is ineligible to be activated during the 2019 season.
You might want to consider the possibility that Dawson just sucks.Yeah I don't get why do Dawson trade even more (less) now
Does he go down as the worst pick of 18? Someone has to wear that crown. Sucks Rivers is approaching that for 17 though at least he was a 3rd.You might want to consider the possibility that Dawson just sucks.
I don't think anyone outside of the Pats organization really knows for sure. My sense is that it's not major and the team is just begin cautious with Harry. He was in uniform on the sideline for the last pre-season game, which would be kind of weird if he had an injury that merited being put on IR, I would think.Wait what? I thought he had a minor ding.
N’Keal Harry looked the part before a couple of injuries sabotaged his development in Detroit. There haven’t been any answers to the way he has looked now that practice is closed to the media, so who knows how quickly it’ll come together with him and Brady. Physically, Harry has the tools to make impactful plays even with minimal chemistry with his quarterback, and that was evident when they connected on only seven of 17 passes in camp. But if those two figure it out early, Harry’s rookie season could be unparalleled in New England.
You're likely going to have/need a QB on that practice squadWhen will we be guessing the PRACTICE SQUAD? I’ll start here, mods obviously please move if necessary.
FB Jakob Johnson (exemption, this one goes to 11)
OL Dan Skipper
OL Cole Croston
WR Braxton Berrios?
LB/ST Calvin Munson
DT David Parry
LB/ST Christian Sam
CB Ken Webster
FB/TE Andrew Beck
DL Trent Harris
OL James Ferentz
My guess is that last one and a couple other spots may come from other organizations, cycling through, getting mini looks at various players. For now, though, I wouldn’t hate this group, although I’d prefer some higher end OL guys, as would, I suspect, that Dante guy.
Without a doubt. A second round pick who never plays a down even though he was healthy enough to be active the first half of his first season? Terrible.Does he go down as the worst pick of 18? Someone has to wear that crown. Sucks Rivers is approaching that for 17 though at least he was a 3rd.
And the 2018 draft was pretty weak. Looking at the guys taken near him, not many guys have emerged yet.Without a doubt. A second round pick who never plays a down even though he was healthy enough to be active the first half of his first season? Terrible.
It doesn't bother me that much--the draft is a crap shoot and the pats make up with it with the UDFAs, vet pick ups and late round picks--but he totally sucked.

Yeah I'd rather have Harris over Burkhead. Tough cuts this year.Losing Harris and Webster is disappointing. Berrios too. Oh well, can keep them all.
I wonder if Harris vs. Burkhead (and to a lesser extent, Gunner over Crossen) is the BB equivalent of GFIN? In both cases, it seems he prioritized players who might contribute to a 21019 win over players who might have a greater impact in 2021, or event 2020.Yeah I'd rather have Harris over Burkhead. Tough cuts this year.
Well, you're not wining the SB with Brian Hoyer. I guess Bill's willing to risk losing games if Brady goes down for a bit for extra depth elsewhere.Of course, Stidham vs. Hoyer is the exact opposite of this, so maybe I'm staring too hard at the fringes of the roster, looking for hidden messages...
Nobody has been put on short term IR yet so there isn't a spot for him.Still nothing on DT? Really want him back.
Schefter just tweeted Harry going to IR.Nobody has been put on short term IR yet so there isn't a spot for him.
Is this the returnable IR, or is Harry lost for the season?Schefter just tweeted Harry going to IR.
[B]Adam Schefter[/B]Verified account @AdamSchefterIs this the returnable IR, or is Harry lost for the season?
Returnable. Clearly not ready for season so makes sense.Is this the returnable IR, or is Harry lost for the season?
I wouldn't make this assumption based on one preseason game against the dregs of the Giants roster. If they thought he really did have that much left, they wouldn't have run the risk of releasing him and losing him; they would have used some other piece of flotsam to get down to 53 originallyOk so this is actually probably a situation that is better for the Pats. If Harry isn't really ready, better to have him take a few more weeks to prepare and heal up, and let Thomas - who appears to still have quite a bit left in the tank - play for now. Top 4 receivers for NE are pretty damned good now: Edelman, Gordon, Thomas, and Dorsett.
