The New England Patriots claimed LB A.J. Edds (rhymes with “weeds”) off of waivers from their Week 1 opponent the Miami Dolphins.
Miami drafted Edds, who played at Iowa in 2010 in the 4th round; he was placed on the season ending IR when he suffered an ACL injury in training camp.
Miami waived him on Monday.
Edds is expected to contribute right away especially in third down situations.
As of now there has been no corresponding roster move.
UPDATE 9/7: The corresponding roster move has been announced as the Patriots have released defensive tackle Gerard Warren. If he’s not signed or picked up by another team, he could possibly return to the Pats after week one.
