Patriots Bring Back Familiar Lineman In Revealing Roster Move
The Patriots brought Ben Brown back only days after releasing him, restoring an experienced and versatile piece of offensive-line insurance.
The New England Patriots have reacquired veteran offensive lineman Ben Brown, bringing him back to the team just a few days after his release. Brown, 28, was part of the roster construction process but was let go after dealing with an injury during the preseason. The signing of Brown provides the Patriots with valuable insurance, as he can play both center and guard, offering stability to the young offensive line that may face injuries or difficult stretches throughout the season.
Brown's familiarity with the Patriots' system, gained from his 31-game career with 14 starts, is crucial as the team prepares for the upcoming season. Additionally, the Patriots have added rookie linebacker Erick Hunter to the active roster, further strengthening their depth chart and providing experience at multiple positions.
