Hairston cut; PUP list officially announced

It didn't take long for the first cut to come down at training camp -- the Patriots have just announced that running back Justise Hairston has been cut. Clearly, Hairston being a Central Connecticut State guy like Scott Pioli, did nothing to help his cause, as the sixth-round pick has been sent packing before the first full day of camp was completed.

But the move could mean that the reports that Brandon Meriweather has been signed are true -- teams can only have 85 players on the roster for camp, and that's exactly how many were on the roster this morning.

The team also confirmed earlier reports of who is on its physically unable to perform list, - WR Troy Brown, WR Chad Jackson, CB Eddie Jackson, S Mel Mitchell, DL Richard Seymour, WR Donte Stallworth and TE David Thomas. Stallworth was added to the list last night.
