Ohio Sate football to hire former NFL assistant to defensive staff
There's little doubt about the connection regarding the hire. Current Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia has a long history with Boyer while both worked for Bill Belichick and the Patriots. The two began working with each other in 2006, all the way until 2018 when Patricia left to become the head coach of the Detroit Lions.
Boyer last post was with the Miami Dolphins as their defensive coordinator from 2020 to 2022. He is a native of Heath, Ohio, and played for Muskingum College before starting his coaching career as a graduate assistant at King's College in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
There has yet to be an announcement from the Ohio State football program on an official title. When that comes, we'll have it for you.

Ravens put sixth-round pick Robert Longerbeam on IR
The Ravens have lost another rookie cornerback for the season. They announced on Sunday that sixth-round pick Robert Longerbeam has been placed on injured reserve. Longerbeam has a knee injury that kept him out of the preseason opener. Baltimore lost Bilhal Kone, another sixth-rounder, when he tore his ACL and MCL in that game. They signed M.J. Devonshire to fill out their cornerback group on Saturday. Marlon Humphrey, Nate Wiggins, Jaire Alexander, Chidobe Awuzie, T.J. Tampa, and Jalyn Armour-Davis are also on hand. The Ravens filled Longerbeam's roster spot with the previously reported signing of running back Myles Gaskin. Longerbeam had 45 tackles and two interceptions during his final season at Rutgers.

First PFF grade for Patriots rookie Will Campbell in preseason opener
Will Campbell in his NFL debut:🛡️ 85.4 PFF grade🛡️ 8 pass-blocking snaps🛡️ 0 pressures allowed New England Patriots rookie offensive lineman Will Campbell received his first Pro Football Focus grade, following Friday's preseason opener against the Washington Commanders. After experiencing ups and downs in training camp, he responded well in his first taste of NFL game action to help push the Patriots to a 48-18 victory. According to PFF, he gave up zero pressures in the game on eight pass-blocking snaps. His overall performance earned a solid 85.4 score from the site. The hope is that Campbell can build on his performance and continue to improve. There is tremendous pressure being placed on his shoulders as the expected starting left tackle as a rookie. But so far, he has displayed the confidence and willingness to take the challenge head-on. Former longtime Patriots defender Deatrich Wise Jr. praised Campbell after the joint practice with the Commanders last Wednesday. There is plenty of room to grow for Campbell, and the Patriots can only hope they reap the benefits from their investment sooner rather than later. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.
