Patriots make two roster moves, following division win over Jets
Fresh off a big win over the New York Jets, the New England Patriots were back in the office on Monday making moves on the personnel side of things. The team confirmed two transactions, including the signing of kicker Tristan Vizcaino to the practice squad and release of running back J.J. Taylor.
Damien Harris’ return to the offensive backfield meant Taylor was likely going to find himself on the outs as far as the 53-man roster is concerned. Granted, the team could always opt to stash him back on the practice squad, assuming he clears waivers.
Meanwhile, Vizcaino returns to the Patriots after being released earlier in the month. He signed briefly with the Arizona Cardinals and kicked a couple of field goals for them in their Week 10 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Taylor being released leaves a vacancy on the Patriots’ roster heading into Thursday’s Thanksgiving night showdown with the Minnesota Vikings. So another move will likely be coming soon.
