Hey all --
The New York Jets have claimed rookie Kareem Brown off waivers. The defensive lineman was released by the Patriots yesterday to make room for Troy Brown; he had not been active for any of the team's games this season.
Brown is not happy about leaving New England; he was hoping to remain with the team on its practice squad. He and Brandon Meriweather are good friends from their days at Miami and Brown looks to fellow Hurricane Vince Wilfork for big brother-type guidance.

Hey all --
The New England Patriots today activated veteran Troy Brown off the physically unable to perform list and placed linebacker Rosevelt Colvin on season-ending injured reserve.
Additionally, the Pats re-signed linebacker Chad Brown and released rookie Kareem Brown.
Troy Brown is returning from offseason knee surgery after being hurt in the AFC Championship game. He has played 191 games with New England and is the team's longest-tenured player.
Colvin was announced to have suffered a foot injury in Sunday's game with the Eagles, though on television it appeared that trainers were working on his arm.
Kareem Brown was New England's fourth-round draft pick this year out of Miami; he has not been active for any of the team's games this season. The Pats are likely hoping he will clear waivers so he can be retained on their practice squad.

Hey all --
We are just in from the week's first practice, held in full pads. Team owner Robert Kraft was taking in the session, yet another sign of how big Sunday's game is.
As for who was there and who wasn't, Benjamin Watson made his return after missing two weeks with an ankle injury. However, Sammy Morris (chest), Eugene Wilson (ankle), Mel Mitchell (groin), and Eric Alexander (knee) remain on the list of absentees.
Joining them on that list is corner Asante Samuel, who was not spotted during media access.
And Troy Brown was not out there either, which is meaningful because this is the last week that the Patriots have the option of opening the window for Brown. As he is on the PUP list, teams can choose at any time between weeks six and nine to start practicing and open a 21-day window for them, by the end of which time they must either activate them to the 53-man roster or put them on season-ending injured reserve.
After Sunday's win over Washington, Bill Belichick said it had been his team's best week of practice to that point, and it showed in the high number of practice player of the week jerseys -- we counted 10, with rookies Brandon Meriweather and Kareem Brown, Larry Izzo, Ray Ventrone, Pierre Woods, Antwain Spann, Le Kevin Smith, Rashad Baker and Tim Mixon all sporting the black jerseys. Interesting that none of the award winners were from the offensive side of the ball.
We'll be back with more shortly.

Running back Laurence Maroney is once again listed as an inactive for today's game, the second game he's missed due to a groin injury.
Center Dan Koppen (ankle) is also out, meaning Russ Hochstein will likely serve as center.
Other inactives:
QB Matt Gutierrez - 3rd QB
S Rashad Baker
T Wesley Britt
DL Santonio Thomas
DL Kareem Brown
LB Chad Brown
By the way, we saw Marcellus Rivers in the media dining area with other inactive and practice-squad players, so it's a safe bet that he'll be re-signed this week.
Cleveland inactives:
QB Ken Dorsey - 3rd QB
P Dave Zastudil
DB Gary Baxter
RB Jerome Harrison
OL Isaac Sowells
OL Nat Dorsey
WR Travis Wilson
