Two transactions have left two openings for the New England Patriots.
The organization placed defensive back Cody Davis on injured reserve and released kicker Tristan Vizcaino from the practice squad on Tuesday, according to the NFL transaction wire.
Davis, 33, suffered a non-contact knee injury while covering a kickoff return in the first half of last Sunday’s 38-15 win over the Cleveland Browns. The 6-foot-2, 203-pound veteran walked to the locker room at FirstEnergy Stadium before being ruled out. Davis, whose 106 snaps on special teams rank third on the Patriots, has recorded a team-high six tackles in the kicking game this fall while also serving as the personal punt protector.
