Kansas City Chiefs September 4, 2010Instant analysis on Patriots moves
New England Patriots Blog | ESPN Boston — Some quick-hit thoughts on the Patriots' roster moves: 1. The Patriots are still holding out hope that offensive lineman Nick Kaczur (back) could play this season. He was not placed on season-ending injured reserve. 2.
