A welcome surprise was revealed on the Patriots inactive list Sunday morning.
Running back Ty Montgomery, who was carted off the field during the Patriots‘ final preseason game in Las Vegas, is active for New England’s season opener at Miami.
There are seven Patriots players listed as inactive: defensive backs Joshuah Bledsoe and Shaun Wade, quarterback Bailey Zappe, running back Pierre Strong, offensive lineman Chasen Hines, and Sam Roberts.
New England also called up receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey and linebacker Harvey Langi earlier in the week.
Matt Patricia is reportedly expected to be the Patriots’ play caller on Sunday according to NFL.
