I know we have a thread for a projected 53-man roster but I thought I'd start a catch-all thread for the flurry of moves coming in the next couple days.

Mods, if you think this is redundant please delete.

It's fine, fieldslikebuckner. Thanks for starting the thread. I just edited the title to be more specific.

Folks, this thread is for NEWS ONLY. Please feel free to create a new thread for any big move(s).

What do I know, but this sure seems to be going slower than I expected given that 4pm today is the deadline.

Is everyone playing chicken with each other, trying to see who else is cut first before making most of their cuts?

EDIT: CBS blog now saying that they are likely waiting until after today's practice to announce the rest of the cuts.

@MarkDanielsPJ
Patriots also placed Andrew Jelks, Keionta Davis and Tony Garcia on the non-football injury/reserve list

@MarkDanielsPJ
Patriots placed Julian Edelman, Cyrus Jones and Derek Rivers on the season-ending injured reserve today. They can't come back until 2018

Pats extended Van Noy two years. Was a pending UFA. Not exactly timely considering how he played last night. Ha

You guys are slacking:

Francois released, Grissom back.

Reedy moves from PS to 53 man.

Some more roster action, per WEEI:

According to ESPN's Field Yates, the Patriots waived defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois and offensive lineman Jason King to promote defensive end Geneo Grissom and wide receiver Bernard Reedy from the practice squad.

[UPDATE: 5:10 p.m.]: The moves have been confirmed by the team and also announced it signed defensive tackle Marcus Hardison to the practice squad.
...
Grissom isn't much of a surprise, but Reedy is. Reedy was signed to the practice squad on Nov. 22 after being released by Tampa Bay. He has punt return experience, which could be something to keep an eye on, as this could take some of the pressure off Danny Amendola.
