Every team in the NFL had some surprises yesterday when they released 22 players. The Pats caught some attention when they released Brian Hoyer, Deion Branch, Dan Koppen and James Ihedigbo. Some of the other players such as 6th round pick Jeremy Ebert might see their way onto the practice squad by the end of the day.
I think the biggest shock was seeing RB Jeff Demps placed on IR. This must have been done with a wink and nod by Coach Belichick. Demps probably tweaked his hamstring against the Giants which will allow the team to stash him on IR for the season. Demps had missed all of the OTA's and most of training camp.
This move will allow Demps to stay around the team and attend meetings This was a great move by Belichick, but it happens all around the league. Demps just needs to make sure that he talks about the correct leg when questioned about his injury.
