Patriots make four roster moves after first preseason game
The New England Patriots announced a series of transactions on Sunday. Undrafted rookie running back Lan Larison was officially placed on injured reserve, and rookie safety Josh Minkins was released. The team signed running back Deneric Prince and rookie defensive end Jereme Robinson in corresponding moves. Larison was a dark horse candidate with a real chance of making the team. So seeing his run cut short due to an injury is tough. Prince recently spent time in the UFL with the Memphis Showboats, and he'll now have an opportunity to carve out a spot for himself with the Patriots. Minkins signed on with the Patriots as a rookie free agent. It was always going to be an uphill climb for the former Cincinnati Bearcat in a crowded safety room in New England. Robinson signed with the Chicago Bears as a rookie free agent out of Kansas and was ultimately released back in July. He racked up 98 total tackles, 14 sacks, six pass deflections and five forced fumbles in 53 game appearances in college. The newcomers will have to hit the ground running with the Patriots already looking to turn the corner to the second week of preseason football. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.
