While nothing has been officially announced, it sounds like they have already found two guys to join their practice squad.<\/p>\n<p>The first move is a reunion for the Pats, as they are reportedly reuniting with tight end Gee Scott Jr., who spent training camp with the team. According to Mike Reiss of ESPN, New England set up a locker for Scott, indicating his signing to the practice squad is imminent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA locker is set up for TE Gee Scott (Ohio State) here at Gillette, which indicates he is returning on the practice squad after spending training camp with the team,\u201d Reiss wrote in a post on X. \u201cRelated, TE Hunter Henry played through a knee injury in the second half last week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The second player coming to town is veteran offensive lineman Royce Newman, who appears to be a direct replacement for Munford. Similar to Scott, Reiss reported that the team had a locker set up for Newman on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThere is a locker for OL Royce Newman here at Gillette, which indicates he will be filling one of the Patriots\u2019 open practice-squad spots,\u201d Reiss wrote on X. \u201cNewman entered the NFL in 2021 as a fourth-round pick of the Packers out of Ole Miss. Time with Green Bay, Tampa Bay and Arizona.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Both of these moves could be directly related to injuries New England is dealing with. Starting tight end Hunter Henry is dealing with a knee injury, while starting left guard Jared Wilson missed the team\u2019s first practice of the week.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on how these injuries shake out, Scott and Newman could immediately be elevated to the active roster. Of course, it will be worth monitoring the team\u2019s injury report throughout the week, as the team still has two more practices on Thursday and Friday ahead of their upcoming clash with the Carolina Panthers.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>Featured image via Kevin R.
