FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – With just over 24 hours remaining until their wild card round showdown with the Los Angeles Chargers kicks off at Gillette Stadium, the New England Patriots are adding a bit of security — and perhaps some explosive depth — to their active roster.
As the 4:00 p.m. EST deadline has passed, the New England Patriots slimmed down their training camp roster to get to the coveted 53. According to NBC Sports Boston, wide receiver Jeremiah Webb was one of the last Patriots to be released is rookie at Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline.
The wide receivers on the New England Patriots have likely already been determined ahead of Tuesday's cut down day. For undrafted rookie Jeremiah Webb, Thursday's preseason finale against the New York Giants was a chance for him to possibly earn a spot on the practice squad -- and to inspire hope into his hometown of Chicago.
