Patriots activate rookie LB Josh Uche among flurry of roster moves before Week 8 game

Patriots activate rookie LB Josh Uche among flurry of moves before Week 8 game originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

The New England Patriots were busy making moves Saturday ahead of their important Week 8 game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon.

One of the most notable transactions was the team activating rookie linebacker Josh Uche off of injured reserve.

The former Michigan star was a second-round pick (60th overall) of the Patriots in the 2020 NFL Draft. It's possible he makes his pro debut versus the Bills, and the Patriots could certainly use the additional depth after linebacker Brandon Copeland suffered a season-ending injury last week.
