One day after releasing DT Albert Haynesworth and TE Dan Gronkowski and bringing back WR Tiquan Underwood, the New England Patriots have made some additional roster moves.
S Josh Barrett was placed on the seasoning ending IR. He returned to play against the New York Giants last week only to get hurt again (calf) during the game.
The team also released CB Malcolm Williams from the practice squad.
The team re-signed S Ross Ventrone and CB Josh Victorian to the practice squad and added LB Mike Rivera to the squad as well.
With those moves the team promoted CB Sterling Moore from the practice squad to the 53-man roster and signed free agent LB Niko Koutouvides who as with the team in training camp.
The 53-man roster moves of Underwood, Koutouvides and Moore look like an effort to rebuild and strengthen the special teams play in the middle of season.
