Patriots Promote LB Jeff Tarpinian To Active Roster, Cut OT Matt Tennant
The Patriots promoted linebacker Jeff Tarpinian from the practice squad to the active roster and released offensive lineman Matt Tennant.
The move is definitely related to the absence of linebacker Tracy White, who is out with a foot injury, but it might also be a sign that Donta Hightower isnt ready to return from a hamstring injury. Hightower could be a game-time decision...
Patriots trade for WR Salas, 7 to practice squad
A day after dumping 22 players from the roster to get down to 53, the Patriots continued making moves today, signing seven players to the practice squad and trading for St. Louis Rams wide receiver Greg Salas.

The New England Patriots lose Jeff Tarpinian for the year
The Patriots have lost 24-year old rookie LB Jeff Tarpinian for the rest of the year due to a head injury. Tarpinian played in 7 games for the Patriots this year and he had 7 tackles. This is going to be a bigger loss to the special teams than the defense for the Patriots. Truth be told though, the Patriots can afford to lose anymore players on defense.

Patriots Hurting at Linebacker With Absence of Jeff Tarpinian, While Devin McCourty Misses Third Practice
FOXBORO, Mass. -- The Patriots' linebacker depth took another hit Friday. Rookie Jeff Tarpinian, who made his first career start Sunday against the Jets, missed practiced for unknown reasons. He hasn't been on the injury report all week. The Patriots also practiced without cornerback Devin McCourty, linebacker Brandon Spikes and linebacker Dane Fletcher, all three of whom...
Patriots LB Jeff Tarpinian said pretty soon, “You kinda realize it’s just football.”
One of the most astonishing things in the Patriots 37-16 win over the Jets on Sunday was that it wasn’t Gary Guyton who started at outside linebacker alongside Jerod Mayo and opposite Rob Ninkovich.
