All Roads Lead Back To Gillette Stadium, For A Chosen Few

It isn't official yet but it sounds like at any point this week, the Patriots will bring back linebacker Bobby Carpenter who was with them all preseason. The linebacker was cut on September 1 and has been a free agent ever since then.

That move would point to the fact that rookie Dont'a Hightower's hamstring injury must be somewhat serious. New England must think his status for Sunday against the Broncos is in question. He left Sunday's game in Buffalo during the first quarter and never returned; Tracy White took his spot and if you remember the AFC Championship game against the Colts in 2008, White can't be expected to do anything but play special teams.

New England has an open roster spot since earlier today they released defensive tackle Terrell McClain who did his best Kellen Winslow Jr. impression against the Bills (no stats whatsoever in his only game for the Pats).

UPDATE 10/3: The Pats re-signed tight end Alex Silvestro to the practice squad and released offensive lineman Thomas Austin. Also, they announced Carpenter's return.
