Donald Trump Jerseys 2019 , signs with Jets’ practice squad As a result of second-year man Harvey Langi missing considerable practice time over the course of the summer, the New England Patriots opted to release him during September’s roster cutdowns. While there were rumors of him joining the team’s practice squad, he was never signed and remained on the open market – until yesterday: according to the NFL’s transactions wire, the New York Jets have signed the 26-year old to their practice squad.Langi originally joined the Patriots in 2017. After he went unselected during the draft, the Patriots signed him to a free agency contract. Over his first NFL offseason, Langi quickly established himself as a player worth keeping in the fold: following a strong training camp and preseason White Stephen Gostkowski Jerseys , the Brigham Young product made New England’s 53-man roster and started his rookie year as a developmental depth option at linebacker.However, his season came to a quick end on October 13: Langi and his wife, Cassidy, were waiting in their car at a red stoplight when they were rear-ended by a driver going 50 mph. The couple survived the crash but not without suffering serious injuries. Cassidy sustained fractures to both her hips as well as broken ribs, Harvey injured both his neck and his head – injuries that would keep him off the football field for the rest of the season.Seven months removed from the near-fatal car crash, Langi was back on the Patriots’ practice fields during organized team activities and minicamp – one of the feel-good stories of the year. Practicing without any visible physical limitations Stephen Gostkowski Jerseys 2019 , the second-year defender was in a position to fight for a roster spot at the linebacker position. However, his bad luck returned: he suffered an internal laceration and was held out for the entire preseason – which ultimately led to his release.Langi is not the first ex-Patriot dealing with injuries to join the Jets: in May, the team also claimed former third-round draft pick Antonio Garcia on waivers. Garcia missed all of his 2017 rookie season due to blood clots in his lungs and was let go by the Patriots after the team acquired Isaiah Wynn and Trent Brown over draft weekend. However, the Troy product did not turn his career around in New York and was released again in late August. The Patriots are accustomed to making adjustments.That was certainly their philosophy during their matchup with the Bills on Monday night.Down to just two healthy running backs on the roster with leading rusher and rookie Sony Michel inactive with a knee injury, New England started receiver Cordarrelle Patterson in the backfield in a move done more out of necessity than by design.While unusual, it didn't provide a lot of traction during a 25-6 victory in which Tom Brady was held without a passing touchdown and the offense was paced by Stephen Gostkowski's four field goals.But it might have been a glimpse at how creative the Patriots (6-2) are willing to be to keep alive a win streak that has grown to five games with a visit from Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.This will be just the second meeting between Brady and Aaron Rodgers White Matthew Slater Jerseys , with Rodgers winning the first matchup 26-21 in Green Bay in 2014.The two future Hall of Famers enter the rematch as the only active players with multiple Most Valuable Player awards (Brady three, Rodgers two).Green Bay is coming off a 29-27 loss to the unbeaten Rams and is just 3-3-1 on the season. But Brady said he is expecting to get the best from a player he considers to be "one of the best to ever play.""It's a big game for us," Brady said. "I mean, they're in it every year. ... So it'll be exciting and we're going to have to play really well. It's a quick turnaround."If Michel can return this week it would decrease the stress on Brady and the passing game. Michel has the Patriots' only 100-yard rushing games in 2018.But even if he's not ready to go, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is confident they'll be able to adapt again if necessary.One of the reasons is the consistent production of James White. While primarily a receiving threat, he can break runs out of the backfield. He had New England's lone rushing touchdown against the Bills."James is a very dependable guy. Whatever it is we ask of him Matthew Slater Jerseys 2019 , we count on him to do a lot of things, and he usually does those things very well," McDaniels said."It's good to have a lot of guys in your offense that can be counted on. ... He's always been a big contributor to what we're doing, and he's got a lot of teammates that try to do the same thing."
