Brandon Tate and Mark LeVoir Activated
According to Mike Reiss:
The Patriots have filled their two open roster spots by activating rookie receiver Brandon Tate and veteran offensive lineman Mark LeVoir.
Tate, a third-round draft choice out of the University of North Carolina, opened the season on the non-football injury list as he was still recovering from torn knee ligaments sustained during his final season with the Tar Heels.
Tate bolsters a receiving corps that has been thinned this week; Julian Edelman is out with a forearm injury and Joey Galloway was released. Tate also should be a factor in the return game.
LeVoir opened the season on the physically unable to perform list with a shoulder injury. With starting left tackle Matt Light out with a right knee injury, LeVoir adds depth.
Rookie Sebastian Vollmer started last week at left tackle. LeVoir projects as the swing tackle -- the top backup -- as he eases his way back into action.

hope tate gets a chance to start
but it’ll be likely that they’ll have aiken or nunn so tate can have more practice time with brady, and work out his kinks.

Nunn isn't on the active roster, so he can't play

so, it looks like aiken.
like sams said, tate will probably do some returns on special teams.

Tate could well be the main option at kick returner
So he’ll have chances to contribute. He’ll probably project as the 4th WR.

Edelman
This injury couldn’t have come at a worse time. I really hope Aiken and Tate can step up and have an impact today. And Slater is still on our active roster too.
