The Patriots’ 53-man roster apparently will look a little different by the time they face the New York Giants on Sunday.
New England plans to sign tackle Conor McDermott from the practice squad to the active roster, according to a Friday report from ESPN’s Mike Reiss. The 53-man roster was full as of Friday morning, so the Patriots would need to either release a player or put one on a reserve list.
In theory, Trent Brown could be a candidate for injured reserve. The monstrous left tackle missed the last game due to lingering knee and ankle injuries, which recently caused him to seek a second opinion.
