The other shoe has fallen and wide receiver Brandon Gibson has been placed on the Patriots injured reserve list. Gibson's injury was on our list of reasons for why New England moved to sign receiver Reggie Wayne.
Gibson was in the midst of a strong preseason, partly due to the fact that he and Danny Amendola were the only healthy receivers on the roster with NFL experience, and he was making a pretty strong claim to the team's final roster spot for wide receivers. Unfortunately, a knee injury at the end of the Saints game derailed his goal.
