Patriots might play rookie defensive lineman at tight end against Jets

When the Patriots take on the Jets on Monday, they may not have a single tight end suited up.

Tight ends Ryan Izzo and Dalton Keene were limited at Thursday’s practice due to hamstring and knee injuries, respectively. Rookie tight end Devin Asiasi was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, meaning all three of the Patriots’ tight ends are dealing with some sort of injury.

With the potential of not having a tight end active for Monday, it appears Patriots head coach Bill Belichick may have something up his sleeve. Belichick said rookie defensive lineman Rashod Berry could play tight end against the Jets.
