Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots added two notable names to fill their practice squad Monday. The Patriots signed running back Tyler Gaffney and fullback Glenn Gronkowski to their practice squad. Gaffney was a fan favorite during the preseason, when he carried the ball 35 times for 152 yards with a touchdown. He also had five catches for 18 yards. Gaffney originally was claimed by the Patriots off waivers in 2014 and spent two seasons on injured reserve. The Patriots waived/injured Gaffney after the preseason, placed him on injured reserve and then released him with an injury settlement, which prevented them from signing him until now, according to NFL rules. Gronkowski is the youngest brother of Patriots star tight end Rob Gronkowski. Glenn was

Patriots Sign Wide Receiver Da’Ron Brown, Filling Roster, Practice Squad
Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots now have a full 53-man roster and 10-man practice squad. The Patriots signed wide receiver Da’Ron Brown to their practice squad Tuesday, the team announced. Brown had a locker at Gillette Stadium.

Jacoby Brissett Named One Of Patriots’ Practice Players Of The Week
Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — Apparently New England Patriots rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett had a solid week of practice before he was called into action Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Brissett was named one of the Patriots’ practice players of the week for his work leading up to the team’s game against the Dolphins. Rookie linebacker Elandon Roberts and practice squad defensive tackle Woodrow Hamilton also earned the honor. It’s possible Brissett was named one of the Patriots’ practice players of the week for imitating Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill. The Patriots beat the Dolphins 31-24 in the Week 2 matchup. Brissett completed 6 of 9 passes for 92 yards in two-plus quarters under center. He could start the Patriots’ Week 3 matchup against the Houston
Was Teddy Bridgewater In Danger Of Losing His Leg After Severe Knee Injury?
Share this: Teddy Bridgewater suffered a pretty brutal injury that will sideline him for the entire season, but judging by recent reports, it appears he actually got pretty lucky.

Bridgewater’s injury was so bad that practice was canceled, and an ambulance had to be called to take him away. Turns out it was a good thing that ambulance came quickly. According to injury expert Will Carroll, there was a chance Bridgewater could have lost his leg had he not received immediate treatment. Source confirms tibiofemoral dislocation, ruptured ACL for Bridgewater. "Trainers may have saved his leg and career by quick action." — Will Carroll (@injuryexpert) August

Patriots Joint Practice Notes: Training Camp Fight Nothing New For Bears
by Zack Cox on Mon, Aug 15, 2016 at 7:42PM 1,734 Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — The mildest of mid-practice altercations is cause for alarm in New England Patriots training camp. That apparently is not the case out in Chicago. The Patriots and Bears engaged in several post-whistle skirmishes during Monday’s joint practice, including one sparked by Malcolm Butler and Alshon Jeffery that featured more than a dozen participants from each side. While not a full-on brawl, it was by far the biggest fight of the the Patriots offseason, which before Monday had only featured a scrap between center Bryan Stork and defensive lineman Woodrow Hamilton during organized team activities. The Bears, on the other hand, reportedly have sparred quite reguarly during their training camp — so much so that
