Yesterday, the New England Patriots lost one of their practice squad players to the New York Jets’ active roster: second-year offensive tackle Eric Smith joined the Patriots’ division rival, leaving an open spot on the 10-man scout team. It did not take long for the team to fill the vacancy, though. As the Patriots announced earlier today, they have added offensive tackle Toby Weathersby to fill Smith’s former spot.
After three years at LSU, the final of which as an 11-game starter, Weathersby decided to enter the NFL draft.
