New England Patriots Blog | ESPN Boston — Patriots coach Bill Belichick held his standard day-after-game conference call with reporters this afternoon (5 p.m.). Even after roster is set, expect movement. Belichick said the team will make its decisions to trim the roster to 53 players by Saturday’s deadline, and then put together the practice squad by Sunday. Yet from the sound of it, players on the back end of the roster shouldn’t get too comfortable. “I’m sure there will be some moving parts as we get into the early part of next week, as there always are,” Belichick said. Phones are busy in a draft-lik...
37 mins agoNew England Patriots Blog | ESPN Boston — Veteran offensive lineman Eric Ghiaciuc was released today, the Patriots announced. Ghiaciuc, who had the most NFL experience in the battle for the backup center/guard job, was a longshot to make the 53-man roster. The competition for the top center/guard backup spot is one of the final roster decisions the Patriots figured to be evaluating Thursday night against the Giants. Second-year players Ryan Wendell and Rich Ohrnberger and rookie Ted Larsen are the top candidates. Ohrnberger, the 2009 fourth-round draft choice, started at right guard in the preseason finale.

1 hour agoNew England Patriots Blog | ESPN Boston — Tight ends Rob Myers and Carson Butler have been informed that they will be waived by the Patriots as the team trims its roster to the 53-man limit by Saturday's deadline. Both were longshots to earn a roster spot as the Patriots have solidified the tight end position with veteran Alge Crumpler and rookies Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. Myers spent time on the Patriots' practice squad last season and could potentially return again if he clears waivers.
2 hours agoNew England Patriots Blog | ESPN Boston — EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- One of the disappointing aspects of the Patriots' preseason finale was the return of the turnover. Through three preseason games, Patriots quarterbacks had not thrown an intereption, but both Tom Brady and Brian Hoyer were picked off by the Giants. Brady's came on a first-quarter long bomb to Randy Moss that had little chance of success from the time the football was released from Brady's hand. Hoyer's came on a botched screen pass that, in retrospect, he probably should have just drilled into the ground. A look at the Patriots' quarterback breakdown this preseason...
