Patriots Reinforce OL and LB Depth | NFL News

0:00On September 2nd, the Patriots are making some moves on the roster as the season approaches. They brought back Senator Ben Brown, who was with the team earlier, but got released to make room for waiver claims. He's back on the 53 man roster, which shows they value his ability to play multiple spots on the offensive line. They also added linebacker Eric Hunter. He was let go by the Detroit Lions, but brings some interesting potential to the linebacker group, especially with some injuries the team is dealing. With, Hunter had a solid college career, racking up a lot of tackles. Brown's situation was a bit of a back and forth. He was initially kept after cuts, then released when the team picked up a couple of other players off waivers. But he's back now, so it seems like a procedural move to get him on the roster. He's been a reliable, debt piece for them since they signed him from the Raiders practice squad. Hunter, on the other hand, is a younger player with some impressive athletic numbers from his college days. He had a strong showing and training camp with the Lions and his speed and agility are definitely intriguing.

Britt and Jose Ramirez at linebacker and some guys on the offensive and defensive lines. It's all about building that roster for the long haul. Stay locked in with NFL News today. AI, powered updates.
