CHARLOTTE, N.C. — If the third preseason game is indeed an indication of which players will make the team and which will not, it's certainly not a good sign for Patriots defensive tackle Terrance Knighton, who was considered to be one of the club's top signings in free agency.
Knighton, who struggled a week ago against Chicago, did not log a single defensive snap during New England's 19-17 Friday night win over Carolina.
Afterward, the 350-pound Knighton confirmed that he is "100 percent healthy."
"It's disappointing just because, you know, I've played a lot of ball in this league, seen a lot of things," Knighton said.
