LB Thomas Williams added to active roster



While placing Wes Welker on Injured Reserve, the Patriots have made a few moves, including adding the 6'1" 237 lb Linebacker Thomas Williams to the 53 man squad. According to Patriots.com, they have also added two WRs to the practice squad, Robert Ortiz and Nick Moore.

No big moves, but I remember Robert Ortiz from spring training and I was a little disappointed to see him go. He was like another Bam Childress for me (ya know, a fan of the not-so-great guys)

Drafted in the 5th round of the 2008 draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars, Thomas Williams played in 6 games, recording only one tackle. I'd assume he figures to be a special teams player alongside Sam Aiken and Kyle Arrington, but may seem some time if we build a lead. I thought we would have brought another WR on to the active squad, so I was a little surprised by this move.
