The Patriots activated Chris Harper off of the practice squad on Tuesday, and this is a prime chance for the UDFA rookie wide receiver to carve out a role for himself. Not only while Julian Edelman is on the shelf until the playoffs start but with an eye towards the future as well.
In a corresponding move the team cut offensive lineman Chris Barker who was activated just a few days ago. Barker will no doubt be signed back to the PS if he clears waivers today and outwardly that is a good sign that either Sebastian Vollmer or Marcus Cannon…perhaps both, will be available this week.
