Patriots defensive edge Deatrich Wise Jr. dealing with disl

[huangjian123]

Injury update:The biggest stories coming out of the New England Patriots’ 31-20 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday were the offense’s inability to consistently move the football against a stout defense Youth Ryan Allen Jersey , and the defensive struggles versus Blake Bortles and the opponent’s passing game. One additional storyline that should not be underestimated, however, is the health situation of the team.After all, three defenders were dinged up during the contest: Trey Flowers and Patrick Chung both left the game with concussions http://www.patriotsauthorizedshop.com/authentic-patrick-chung-jersey , while Deatrich Wise Jr. appeared to have hurt his finger in the fourth quarter. While there are no updates on Flowers and Chung yet, The Athletic’s Jeff Howe reports that Wise Jr.’s injury is not seen as an all too serious one:In his one-plus year in the NFL, Wise Jr. has established himself as a core member of the Patriots’ rotation at the defensive edge position. The injury is therefore worth keeping a close eye on, especially considering Flowers’ concussion: Wise Jr. saw additional playing time against Jacksonville with Flowers out and ultimately was on the field for 76% of New England’s defensive snaps – more than any other defensive lineman.If he and Flowers are unavailable or limited heading into the Patriots’ week three game against the Detroit Lions Eric Rowe Jersey , second-year defender Derek Rivers – New England’s highest draft pick from a year ago – will likely see an increased workload in practice and might appear in his first-ever NFL game on Sunday.Patriots release cornerback Cyrus Jones; create an open roster spot The New England Patriots have an open spot on their 53-man roster: as the team announced earlier today, it has waived backup cornerback and punt returner Cyrus Jones. The writing for the move was on the wall after wide receiver Julian Edelman returned from a four-game suspension and immediately took over punt return duties again – relegating Jones to a spot on the inactives list during Thursday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.Jones originally joined the Patriots as a second-round draft pick in 2016. After struggling mightily early on during his rookie season on both defense and special teams, and effectively being redshirted afterwards, the Alabama product appeared to be on his way to bounce back one year later. However Authentic David Andrews Jersey , he tore his ACL in the preseason and was subsequently placed on season-ending injured reserve.After getting released during 2018’s roster cuts, Jones was added to the Baltimore Ravens’ practice squad. Two weeks later, New England added him to its active roster again: Jones appeared in two games for the team as a depth defender and punt returner. The 24-year old looked solid – returning five kicks for 45 yards – but failed to hold onto the job after Edelman was activated to the 53-man roster. His release is therefore no surprise.The move now creates an open spot on New England’s active team. One player to potentially fill it is running back Mike Gillislee. The former Patriot joined the New Orleans Saints after his release in early September but was let go again earlier today. With the team currently having only two healthy running backs on its roster – James White and Sony Michel – adding an experienced player like Gillislee would make sense.
