Yeah, Michel tested positive and confirmed but Rivers and Mason were in close contact. 5 days for them.
According to the NFL transaction wire, the Patriots will fill those spots by elevating four players from the practice squad: offensive lineman Caleb Benenoch, defensive end Rashod Berry, wide receiver Isaiah Zuber and defensive tackle Nick Thurman.
I'm interested to see if Zuber gets a touch or 2 and how he does.
OL probably looks like Wynn, Onwenu, Thuney at C, Herron and Eluemunor although Herron & Onwenu can switch sides. Another patched together unit. Denver has 2 really good DTs.
Among players I'm watching:
Anfernee Jennings - played well vs KC with only 15 snaps but PFF graded him at 87.3; that's very good.
Damien Harris - should get more touches this go round; I'd like to see more from him, maybe a reception or two and more wiggle for yac.
Does Uche play?
Rashod Berry - he's interesting bc he's a DE who can take Rivers' DE role but he also played TE at Ohio St. Caught the winning touchdown pass in the 2019 Rose Bowl vs. Washington. 6'4" 260. He's super athletic and has a rep of toughness and determination.
Do DLs Carl Davis &/or Nick Thurman make the active list with Cowart out?
