In addition to the Hankerson and Harper moves, the Patriots have signed CB Troy Hill and released TE Asante Cleveland
The Patriots are making a flurry of roster moves in preparation against the New York Jets with the release of TE Asante Cleveland and signing of CB Troy Hill. This doesn't affect the makeup of the roster much since Cleveland is really just an extra body in case the Patriots lose Scott Chandler or Michael Williams at TE. I would expect to see Cleveland added to the practice squad this week after he clears waivers. The promotion of Chris Harper allows leaves an open spot next week unless Harper gets released.
