Patriots elevate Brown and Vildor before Bills game
New England adds two practice squad players as injuries affect its defensive roster ahead of Week 4.
The New England Patriots have elevated safety Mike Brown and cornerback Kindle Vildor from the practice squad ahead of their Week 4 game against the Buffalo Bills.
The moves add depth to the secondary as the team manages several injury concerns. Safety Craig Woodson is listed as questionable after missing the previous game, while backup safety Dell Pettus is on injured reserve.
Cornerback Christian Gonzalez is dealing with a shoulder injury; the source does not say whether he will miss the game. Defensive tackle Christian Barmore has been ruled out.
The Patriots Wire report says New England’s defensive front will include Milton Williams, Cory Durden, Joshua Farmer, DaQuan Jones and Leonard Taylor for the matchup. The Bills game is scheduled for Sunday.
