What activating Cole Strange means for the Patriots

The New England Patriots’ players did not have to report to Gillette Stadium on Tuesday, but the team as a whole was still quite busy, making four total transactions.

Offensive lineman Cole Strange was activated from the physically unable to perform list; wide receiver K.J. Osborn was waived; kicker John Parker Romo was signed to the practice squad; outside linebacker Keshawn Banks was released from the practice squad. With the dust settling, the Patriots still have a full 53-man roster and 16-player practice squad.

What else do the moves mean for the team, though, especially those regarding Strange and Osborn?
