     Hill on the injured reserve The New England Patriots made three roster moves on Monday http://www.patriotscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-stephon-gilmore-jersey , per ESPN’s Field Yates. The Patriots placed running back Jeremy Hill on the injured reserve with a torn ACL and they released wide receivers Riley McCarron and Chad Hansen. The Patriots will have to make three corresponding additions to the roster.The move of Hill was expected due to his injury. Hopefully rookie Sony Michel will be able to return to the field and lessen the need to add another running back to the roster, while undrafted rookie Ralph Webb is on the practice squad and available for promotion. McCarron muffed a punt that led to a Houston Texans touchdown, so his release should remind Patriots fans of Chris Harper. McCarron was a pure slot receiver on offense Cheap Joe Thuney Jersey , so perhaps there’s another player the Patriots have in mind to step in at the slot. The team worked out Corey Coleman on Monday and veteran Kendall Wright last week. Jace Billingsley is another practice squad promotion option.Hansen’s release shouldn’t make too many waves as he was with the team for a mere 8 days. The Patriots were just testing the waters to see what he could provide. Both McCarron and Hansen are practice squad targets.We’ll provide updates on future roster moves when they are known. The Patriots will try for a win against the Packers on Sunday night without the help of tight end Rob Gronkowski.Gronkowski has been ruled out for the second time in the last three weeks as he continues to deal with back and ankle injuries. Gronkowski was listed as questionable after sandwiching limited practices around a day on the sideline on Thursday.The Patriots will also play without running back Sony Michel. It’s the second week in a row that Michel will sit out and the Patriots used Cordarrelle Patterson along with James White and Kenjon Barner in the backfield last week.Tight end Jacob Hollister and linebacker Nicholas Grigsby are also out after being listed as questionable. Offensive linemen Shaq Mason, Brian Schwenke and Cole Croston round out the inactive group.Wide receiver Geronimo Allison is inactive for the Packers after hurting his groin in practice last week. Punter Drew Kaser, quarterback Tim Boyle Cheap Danny Shelton Jersey , cornerback Tony Brown, linebacker Korey Toomer, guard Justin McCray and offensive lineman Alex Light are also inactive.
