Knighton didn’t play a single snap in Friday’s game against the Panthers, and after the game, he addressed the situation:
From Mike Reiss of ESPN Boston:
“You’re always concerned when you’re not playing,” he said. “I prepared myself to play, the coaches made the decisions on who they wanted to play, and I’m not going to ask any questions or make any excuses or look for any explanation. I’m just going to get dressed, get back on the plane and see what happens.”
When the Pats initially signed Knighton, everyone not only thought he would be a lock to make the roster, but also possibly be a lock to start alongside Malcom Brown.
