When Will Isigh Wynn Play Again
Patriots tackle Isaiah Wynn returned to practise on Midweek, pregnant that he is now designated for return from injured reserve. It'southward large news for a squad that boasts a perfect record, but also has some room for comeback up front.
Wynn takes the second and concluding allotted Pats IR-DTR spot, meaning that the flavour is officially over for Josh Gordon and the remainder of the Patriots' players on injured reserve. The Patriots reportedly had no designs on bringing Gordon back this season, but the wide receiver insists that he'll be salubrious and ready to play earlier the year is through. Ultimately, this will probably event in Gordon'southward release, with the run a risk that he could claw on with a different club in 2019. In case yous missed information technology: The first IR-DTR slot was used to bring back wide receiver North'Keal Harry.
Wynn, a Pats 2018 outset-circular choice, left the team's Week 2 shutout in Miami due to turf toe and was placed on IR before long afterwards. He'll get zip but hand-pounds and hugs now that he's back on the practise field – the Pats have missed him, peculiarly in a season being spent without middleDavid Andrews.
In other Pats injury news – tight finishMatt LaCosse (knee) was also dorsum at practice on Midweek.
AFC Notes: Ramsey, Wynn, Conner, Brady
Omnibus Doug Marrone confirmed at Jalen Ramsey will play for the Jaguars on Thursday Night Football game, as Tiffany Blackmon of NFL Network relays (Twitter link).
"Jalen and I take ever had a good open up human relationship," Marrone said. "…we sat downwards yesterday and talked virtually what went on with him and I… that'southward behind the states correct at present…"
Blackmon adds that Ramsey is focused on the game against the Titans. Information technology was reported earlier today that the team may be targeting Friday as the ideal time to trade the cornerback. While we wait to come across if Ramsey ends up elsewhere, let'due south take a look at some notes from the AFC:
- With LT Isaiah Wynn on injured reserve with a toe injury, the Patriots may move starting LG Joe Thuney to the tackle spot, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com writes. Wynn isn't eligible to render for another eight weeks but it'south possible he finds his style back on the field at that signal.
- James Conner's knee injury doesn't appear to be serious, Jeff Hathhorn of 93.seven The Fan relays (Twitter link). Conner expects to play for the Steelers this Sunday.
- Tom Brady is dealing with a "minor" calf ailment, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com passes along on Twitter. Brady was limited today in do, though in that location's been no indication that his status for the Patriots' game this week is in jeopardy.
Patriots To Place T Isaiah Wynn On IR
For the second direct year, Isaiah Wynn will terminate upwards on IR. The Patriots will shut downwardly their left tackle starter for the fourth dimension existence, with Field Yates reporting (via Twitter) the human foot injury he suffered in Week two volition result in an IR stay.
Wynn, who missed all of his rookie season, will be out at least eight weeks. The Pats signed former Buccaneers starter Caleb Benenoch earlier Tuesday, and he volition end up taking Wynn's roster spot.
The 2018 first-round option left New England'south Week 2 shutout in Miami due to turf toe. Benenoch is the latest new face on the Pats' front. They fabricated three preseason trades for offensive linemen and turned to newcomers Korey Cunningham and Marshall Newhouse in place of Wynn. The Pats lost Marcus Cannon to a Week i injury; he missed Week 2. Now they'll have to get by without Wynn. The defending Super Bowl champions are already without center David Andrews for the flavor.
Even though they won Super Bowl LIII without Wynn's services, the Pats no longer have Trent Chocolate-brown as an insurance policy. Some lower-profile veterans will at present be charged with protecting Tom Brady'southward blind side. While offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia has proven repeatedly to be able to construct high-end blocking groups, this will be his latest challenge.
Patriots Notes: Williams, Wynn, Brady
Trent Williams to the Patriots? Field Yates of ESPN.com (on Twitter) says Pats fans shouldn't concord their breath. As Yates notes, the Redskins tackle seemed similar a fit just a couple of weeks ago, only left tackle Isaiah Wynn is progressing in his recovery and Dan Skipper is getting significant reps in the acting. Meanwhile, every bit ESPN.com's Mike Reiss (on Twitter) points out, Cole Croston is also dorsum in the mix.
While you lot contemplate Williams' next destination, hither's more than from New England:
- More from Reiss, who breaks down Wynn'due south road to recovery from a torn Achilles suffered one year ago. He too touches on Skipper, who offers prototypical size at vi'9″, 310 pounds.
- The Patriots sent a conditional 2020 seventh-circular pick to the Falcons (originally from the Eagles) in theEric Saubert trade, Howard Balzer tweets. It's an extremely depression-cost bargain for the Pats, who might have found a new blocking tight end to fortify their group.
- Superstar quarterback Tom Brady is however looking to play until the age of 45.
Patriots Notes: Thomas, Michel, Gronk, Wynn
Demaryius Thomas is non a lock to brand the Patriots' 53-man roster and may well begin the flavor on the reserve/PUP list. The Patriots started that process Sun by placing the Pro Bowl wide receiver on their active/PUP list, which applies to players non healthy plenty to brainstorm participating in grooming camp. The Pats used the same designation for Sony Michel, Field Yates of ESPN.com tweets. Michel will certainly be part of the 2019 Patriots and is recovering from offseason knee surgery. Thomas tore an Achilles in December, joining longtime receiver teammate Emmanuel Sanders in that regard. The latter, nonetheless, is further along in his recovery, having not started Broncos camp on the PUP listing.
Hither is the latest out of New England:
- Patriots 3rd-round pick Yodny Cajuste underwent quadriceps surgery before the draft and landed on the defending Super Bowl champions' reserve/NFI listing, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com tweets. As is the case with the active/PUP list, players can come off this list at any indicate during camp. Cajuste figures to mix in as a swing option for the Patriots as a rookie.
- If Rob Gronkowski does follow through on a comeback, might the Patriots exist wise to clinch him blocking responsibilities will exist express? While the future Hall of Famer was a plus blocker for his position, Jim McBride of the Boston Earth suggests the Pats apply Gronk equally a hybrid-type player that does not have the same kind of in-line role he previously held. The 30-year-one-time icon has slimmed down this offseason, i that has reportedly not featured much in the way of forcefulness work.
- Deatrich Wise and Nate Ebner will join Thomas and Michel on the Pats' active/PUP listing, Reiss tweets. A third-year defensive end, Wise has non missed a game in two seasons.
- Isaiah Wynn, even so, will not appear on the Pats' active/PUP listing, Reiss adds (via Twitter). The 2018 first-round pick missed all of his rookie season due to a torn Achilles' tendon. Suffering the injury before last flavor began, Wynn is expected to suit upwards when the Patriots convene for their 2019 camp and line upwardly every bit New England'south starting left tackle.
- The Pats practice not appear to have an open spot at quarterback, with Reiss noting Brian Hoyer volition stick every bit Tom Brady's top fill-in and rookie Jarrett Stidham is probable assured of a roster spot as the team'southward latest developmental QB project. This puts 2018 seventh-round pick Danny Etling on the verge of over again falling short of a spot on the squad'southward active roster. But he may have an outside shot as a Taysom Hill-like part, per Reiss. While the Purdue and LSU alum never rushed for more than 200 yards in a flavour in college, Reiss points to his 86-1000 touchdown run during 2018 preseason play as a sign this outside-the-box notion could work. The Patriots probably aren't besides eager to take Brady off the field, still.
Patriots Notes: Gordon, Berrios, Wynn
A WR depth nautical chart topped past Julian Edelman, Due north'Keal Harry, and Josh Gordon could make Patriots quarterback Tom Brady quite happy, only Gordon's condition manifestly remains uncertain. Jim McBride of the Boston Globe writes that it would make sense for Roger Goodell to elevator Gordon'south indefinite interruption and reinstate the troubled wideout in time for preparation camp, especially in calorie-free of the commissioner's argument that he wants to get Gordon back on the playing field. Later on all, the nurturing environment and structured routine of grooming camp would theoretically exist skillful for Gordon and may allow him to continue to keep his personal demons at bay.
There have been no reports suggesting that Gordon has actually applied for reinstatement, but there were earlier indications that the NFLPA may begin to "lay groundwork" for his return in May, and that at that place was a hazard he could return past grooming military camp. As of right now, though, Gordon is still in a holding pattern.
Permit's circular up several more items from the defending champs:
- Speaking of broad receivers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com believes 2018 6th-rounderBraxton Berrioswill crack the 53-human roster and could give the Patriots the type of Danny Amendola-similar slot option that Brady loves. On the heels of a strong performance this leap, Berrios, who spent his unabridged rookie season on IR, has already arrived at the team's facility well in advance of training military camp. His chances of making the team are enhanced past his ability to return punts.
- Both Reiss and McBride hash out the importance of Isaiah Wynn, who is expected to become the Patriots' starting left tackle in 2019. Similar Berrios, Wynn missed all of his rookie season due to injury, though all reports this year accept suggested that he would be ready for preparation camp. Per McBride, the coaching staff has been pleased with Wynn's progress in the mental aspect of the game, and Wynn says he physically feels gear up to go. Still, Reiss says the 2018 first-rounder could still open up camp on the PUP listing.
- The Patriots stayed out of the supplemental typhoon for the 20th twelvemonth in a row, though Reiss suggests the squad could take been intrigued by safety Jalen Thompson (who was the merely actor to be selected this year). Simply surrendering a 2020 mid-circular choice to add to a position group that already has quite a lot of depth just did not make sense for New England.
- Gil Brandt of NFL.com examines the best fits for some of the top remaining free agents, and he believes the Patriots would brand the perfect landing spot for DE Allen Bailey. New England did meet with Bailey dorsum in March, and the 30-year-old fits the contour of the blazon of versatile D-lineman that the Pats take a history of signing on the inexpensive.
The Patriots are coming off nonetheless some other Super Basin win, only they had a lot of turnover from concluding year's roster. Notably, they lost left tackle Trent Brown in free agency, so they'll accept someone new protecting Tom Brady'due south blindside in 2019.
By all accounts, that's supposed to be second-twelvemonth player Isaiah Wynn. The Patriots drafted Wynn in the first round last twelvemonth, but he missed his unabridged rookie season due to a torn Achilles he suffered during the preseason. He appears to be on track for the flavour, equally sources told Jeff Howe of The Able-bodied that "is expected to exist prepare for training camp." Achilles injuries can be very catchy, and so that'south good to hear.
Howe also adds that Wynn has already begun running at full speed, which is another adept sign. Recently we heard that the Patriots were preparing left guard Joe Thuney to play some tackle if Wynn wasn't ready. It sounds similar he volition be though, and the Pats will need him. After Jared Veldheer retired during OTAs, New England was all of a sudden left very thin at tackle.
The 23rd overall pick of last twelvemonth's draft, Wynn was a standout at Georgia. He earned a first-team All-SEC choice in 2017, and had been competing for a starting job before going downward with the Achilles injury. The Patriots have frequently shuffled effectually their offensive line in front end of Brady, and this will exist their third directly year with a new left tackle.
Nate Solder left in free agency following the 2017 season, which prompted them to bring in Brown. They take one of the league's all-time offensive line coaches in Dante Scarnecchia, and things have ever seemed to work out fine no affair who they throw in at that place. It'll be very interesting to watch Wynn during preseason action to run into how he holds up, although they may non want to push him likewise much.
AFC East Notes: Jets, Patriots, Mayo, Bills
While it is not known when the Jets will make their GM decision, they practice announced to exist done interviewing candidates. The four executives the Jets spoke to — Joe Douglas (Eagles), Scott Fitterer (Seahawks), Gnaw Kelly (Bears) and Terry Fontenot (Saints) — remain in contention, and Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets (video link) the team has since discussed salary expectations with the candidates. These follow-up talks occurred Tuesday nighttime, per ESPN.com'southward Adam Schefter (on Twitter). The favorite since this process started, Douglas has not washed anything to remove himself from that perch, but Fitterer has gained steam after a strong interview, Rapoport adds.
These meetings may take besides been for the do good of the candidates, with Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News tweeting multiple interviewees are concerned about the Jets' atypical ownership state of affairs. CEO Christopher Johnson is working in brother Woody Johnson's identify, with the latter having accepted an administrator position with the Trump administration. Woody Johnson will sign off on this GM pick, Mehta adds.
Here is the latest from the AFC East:
- A Patriots contingency plan for if presumptive left tackle Isaiah Wynn is not ready: peradventure Joe Thuney sliding over one spot. The Patriots' fourth-year left guard worked with their showtime-cord offense at left tackle Wed, according to The Athletic's Jeff Howe (subscription required). Brian Schwenke and Ted Karras have been rotating at left guard during Pats minicamp. A 2016 3rd-round pick, Thuney has started every game at left baby-sit since entering the league. Wynn, a 2018 first-rounder who tore his Achilles' tendon during camp last year, is not yet set for team drills.
- Bill Belichick is expected to call Patriots defensive plays this season, only the team is using minicamp to try out some other possibilities. First-year full-time banana Jerod Mayo was calling Pats plays for a second straight day at minicamp, according to Howe. The Patriots hired their former linebacker as assistant within 'backers double-decker this offseason, and Howe adds the 33-year-old calling plays during the season is at present a "serious possibility."
- Quinnen Williams sustained a dogie injury recently and will be limited for the residue of Jets minicamp, Adam Gase said (via Mehta), calling it a scare. However, the No. 3 overall pick is expected to resume full work when the team, interestingly, holds another OTA session next calendar week.
- Former Buccaneers 7th-round pickStevie Tu'ikolovatu worked out for the Bills on Wed, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com tweets. The sometime USC defensive tackle has non played since being drafted, with injuries keeping him off the field.
- Ane of the Dolphins' 18 priority free agent signings hitting the waiver wire Tuesday. The Dolphins parted means with cornerback Tyler Horton (Boise Land) via left-squad designation, veteran NFL reporter Howard Balzer notes (on Twitter).
Patriots Notes: Gordon, Gronk, Slater, Jones
The Patriots will end upwards getting a 2019 seventh-round pick out of the Josh Gordon trade, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. It was initially reported that New England sent a fifth-round pick to Cleveland in exchange for Gordon, and that a 7th-rounder would be coming back to the Pats if Gordon was unable to play 10 games with the club in 2018. Although Gordon ended up playing eleven games for New England before being suspended again, Reiss says the 10-game condition was lifted and that the Patriots will become the 29th pick in the seventh circular.
At present for more news and notes from the Super Bowl champs:
- Tight stop Rob Gronkowski has been at Gillette Stadium multiple times over the last couple of weeks, and while he may but be in that location to continue treatment on his thigh, Reiss believes Gronk'southward presence is reflective of the good relationship between him and the team at the moment and of Gronkowski's overall positive feelings towards the Patriots. Although he may still retire, his current state of mind is expert news for Pats fans who would like to see him back in 2019.
- Matthew Slater is due a $400K roster bonus on March 13, and assuming he is nonetheless on the roster at that bespeak, the team's 2019 selection — which calls for a $1.6MM base salary — will be automatically exercised. Reiss believes that is a reasonable price for a special teams ace like Slater, and that the 33-year-sometime volition be back in Foxborough next season.
- Reiss also believes tight end Dwayne Allen could be dorsum, equally the team admires his professionalism and piece of work ethic, but he will obviously need to accept a pay cut; he is due a $6.4MM base salary in 2019.
- Cornerback Jonathan Jones proved his value to the Patriots in this year's playoffs, and he is eligible for restricted costless bureau in March. Equally Reiss observes, the Patriots could tender him at the second-round level, which would entitle him to a salary of $3.1MM, or at the low level, which calls for a $2MM bacon. But if they go with the latter option, they take a chance losing Jones without getting any typhoon compensation in render, then Reiss suggests that the two sides could explore a long-term deal before gratis bureau opens.
- Zack Cox of NESN.com believes LT Trent Brown will get a contract on the free agent market that the Patriots cannot compete with, and that the team will need to turn to 2018 starting time-rounderIsaiah Wynn to supersede him. Wynn, of course, missed his entire rookie campaign due to a torn Achilles he suffered last preseason.
- Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels received just tepid involvement on the head coaching market this year, but Ben Volin of the Boston Globe says McDaniels' excellent piece of work in technology the Patriots' Super Bowl run will put him firmly dorsum on the HC radar in 2020.
- The Patriots have once again surfaced every bit a potential dwelling for Colin Kaepernick.
