The New England Patriots have released their starting center from a year ago, Bryan Stork. As a rookie in 2014, he started 11 of the 13 games he played in, and last year he had 6 starts in 8 games. He began the 2015 season on the short term injured list with a head and neck injury.
Chicago Bears’ fans may recognize Stork’s name, since he was the guy in an altercation with John Timu when the teams held joint practices last week.
Stork was listed as the #1 center again this offseason for the Pats, but the reality is his status with the ones wasn’t a foregone conclusion.
