It's fairly normal for any Shield team to cut someone the week of a game, and maybe even the day before...
But the day before the Roman Numeral Classic...???
Yup...
The Pats cut WR Tiquan Underwood in favor of activating a fellow Rutgers grad- DL Alex Silvestro- off the practice squad. It was a move that was strictly bid-ness as the team needed more D-lineman and special teams help with the lingering effects of Rob Gronkowkski's high ankle sprain.
Underwood has been surprisingly upbeat about the whole thing Tweeting:
Good Luck To The New Enland Organization, The Coaches, & All My Teammates... #PatsNation
Underwood will get his game share, win or lose... and a ring if the Patriots win. This means that Eight-Five will be active as one of the receivers for the game in Indy.
Ed Werder has more...
