The New England Patriots have one of the deepest rosters in the entire NFL, but there are still some positions that could benefit from reinforcements. The two most prominent at the moment might be wide receiver and offensive tackle: personnel turnover going back all the way to the offseason, and recent injuries suffered by core players such as Josh Gordon, Phillip Dorsett and Isaiah Wynn have left the two position groups somewhat vulnerable.
Luckily for the Patriots, reinforcements might be on their way as two players who were initially projected to play considerable roles this season are now eligible to return to practice off the team’s health-related reserve lists: wide receiver N’Keal Harry, who opened the year on injured reserve (IR), and offensive tackle Yodny Cajuste, who spent all of training camp and the early portions of the regular season on the non-football injury list (NFI).
