The New England Patriots made two minor roster moves today as they released defensive lineman Mike Wright and guard Rich Ohrnberger, who both ended the 2011 season on injured reserve.
It's particularly sad for Wright (only 29 years old and a veteran of 7 seasons) since his career is likely over after he missed most of the last two years with concussions. Before that, he had a fine career after making the team as an undrafted free agent out of Cincinnati in 2005. He was undersized, tough and smart so Pats head coach Bill Belichick always loved him.
Ohrnberger was a fourth-round draft choice by New England in 2009 but he only appeared in five career games. He went on IR last Sept. 3 with a head injury and was never heard from after that.
