ESPNFirst 12 of 17 practice squad spots filled, as announced by the Patriots: S Mike Brown WR Kyle Dixon WR Cameron Dorner DT Eric Gregory RB Hassan Haskins RB Lan Larison OT Lorenz Metz DT Jeremiah Pharms Jr. C Jacob Rizy CB Kindle Vildor LB Riley Wilson P Mitch Wishnowsky
Follow-up context: Because Ben Brown is a vested veteran and doesn’t need to clear waivers, the expectation is that he is re-signed in New England in the coming days. This is logistical.
Reserve C/G Ben Brown has been released, which is the second roster move to make room for today’s waiver claims. Brown had been the top backup at center and guard in training camp before sustaining an injury in Week 1 of the preseason. Greg Van Roten has since assumed that role.
