Decisions To Make

Every move on the 53 man roster comes at the expense of another player. Soemtimnes, it spells the end of one's career. The Pats recently activated three players off the PUP list and one from the ono-football injury list. They have three weeks to decide what to do with them.

I think the team will place OL Marcus Cannon on IR. The rookie has been getting cancer treatments since he has been with the team. Things have been looking very positive, but he missed all of training camp and practice during the season. His injury is considered non-football.

I expect RB Kevin Faulk to be active on Sunday against the Steelers. I'm not sure of DL Ron Brace and Brandon Deadrick. Brace might be one of those players who are injury prone. He has proven that so far. Deadrick played some last year, but the team might want to stick with veteran players on the defensive line.

It's always hard to determine what the team might do. They could stash some of the players on IR. The road to the 53 man roster can be very challenging. Ross Ventrone is back on the team after being released last week. He will probably get released again. It's getting hard to track his movements on the team.
