After already bringing three players on board earlier today, the New England Patriots have made another move: according to ESPN’s Field Yates, the club has signed former New York Jets defensive tackle Mike Pennel today — a potential replacement for former first-round draft pick Malcom Brown, who signed a three-year, $15 million deal with the New Orleans Saints today.Pennel hit the open market because the Jets made a somewhat surprising move in February when they opted to decline the $1.0 million contract option in Pennel’s deal. As a result of the decision Color Rush Byron Cowart Jersey , the veteran became an unrestricted free agent yesterday — and one that looked tailor-made for the Patriots: at 6’4, 330 lbs, he is a big-bodied presence at the heart of the defensive line, capable to taking on double teams and controlling the point of attack in the two-gap scheme New England runs.While not exactly the highest-upside pass rushing option, the 27-year-old could help the Patriots replace Malcom Brown and possibly also fellow free agent Danny Shelton.[UPDATE] Pennel’s contract is for two years. Tomorrow Youth Byron Cowart Jersey , the New England Patriots will play their tenth game of the season. And while the team is slowly getting healthier and has declared just one player out so far for the contest against the Tennessee Titans, there are still some question marks: a total of six players has been listed as “questionable” to be active on Friday’s final injury report. One of those players is tight end Rob Gronkowski.Gronkowski missed two of the Patriots’ last three games due to back and ankle injuries. And while he returned to practice in a limited capacity, it appears as if he will still not be able to suit up on Sunday. According to a report by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the 29-year old will not play against the Titans: the club is apparently taking a safe approach considering Gronkowski’s injury situation heading into its week 11 bye.That being said, there is still a chance that the NFL’s best tight end ultimately is active. After all Womens Byron Cowart Jersey , he has joined the rest of his teammates on the trip to Nashville (via ESPN Boston’s Mike Reiss). While this does not guarantee a spot on the 46-man game day roster, it shows that Gronkowski at least is healthy enough to be a consideration to be declared active one day before the game is played. This has to be seen as a good sign for his long-term outlook. « It’s almost here!
