The New England Patriots made a series of lineup moves on Saturday before their Sunday game with the Baltimore Ravens.
Patriots:
– Placement of external supporter Shilique Calhoun on the list of injured reserves.
– Activation of offensive takeoff jermaine Eluemunor IR.
– Internal supporters beat Terez Hall and Cassh Maluia from the practice team.
– Defensive shot by Nick Thurman.
– Added jordan Thomas closed wing to 53-player list.
– Signed side Paul Quessenberry to the team.
Calhoun has played a leading role in New England pass packages this season and has also played 42. 8% of the Patriots’ special teams. His absence creates more opportunities for second-round recruit Josh Uche.
Eluemunor played well at the start of the season as a great Patriots starting player on the right tackle. It is known whether he will regain this place given the performances of rookie Mike Onwenu in his absence.
This is Hall’s consecutive promotion time. He started and played last week in his NFL deyet, recording six tackles in a 30-27 win over the New York Jets. Maluia got rid of the 53-player list this week. He played siete. de in the first eight Games in New England, but has yet to play a defensive game at nfl level.
Hall and Maluia’s additions cast doubt on incumbent linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley for Sunday. Bentley missed last week’s game due to a groin injury and is one of 17 Patriots players ranked as questionable.
Baltimore has one of the league’s ground offenses, ranking first in yards consistent with the game and third in yards consistent with bringing this season.
The Patriots recently added intensity along Line D in the form of Carl Davis, who made his opposite debut to the Jets, and Isaiah Mack, who could do it on Sunday, making Thurman consumable.
With Thomas, whom the Patriots claimed exemptions from the Arizona Cardinals this week, now officially on the list, he will be eligible to play on Sunday. However, New England can wait until next week to use Thomas because he hasn’t already done so. practice with your new team.
The Sony Michel midfielder was not activated off the list of injured reserves. If Michel doesn’t activate until next Thursday, he’ll be back in the IR and won’t be able to return this season.
Midfielder Ivan Fears said Friday that Michel’s quadriceps injury and his time on the reserve list /COVID-19 “have delayed him. “
“We want him back in shape,” Fears said. ” We want him back in shape and fit again. And he’s doing a wonderful job. I mean, he looks smart in training.
The resolve not to turn against Michel may be perceived as a smart sign for defenseman Damien Harris, who is questionable with chest and ankle injuries, but has said he is preparing to play.
Sunday’s start is scheduled for 8:20 ET. Gillette Stadium.
