Yesterday, offensive linemen Sebastian Vollmer (concussion), Marcus Cannon (toe) and Tre' Jackson (knee) all returned to practice for the first time since suffering their respective injuries. It seems as if the Patriots offensive line is on its way to return to full strength. Consequently, the need for depth guys is no longer that big.
That's why it is no surprise that the Patriots have released offensive lineman Blaine Clausell from their practice squad, according to his agent Brett Tessler:
The New England Patriots just released T/G Blaine Clausell from their practice squad.
