Patriots announce inactives for week 1 against the Cardinals, including RB D.J. Foster

Check out which Patriots players will not be playing against the Cardinals.

By Rich Hill

The New England Patriots have announced the inactives for the week 1 game against the Arizona Cardinals:

The Patriots will be without LT Nate Solder (hamstring), OG Jonathan Cooper (foot), TE Rob Gronkowski (hamstring), LB Elandon Roberts, CB Eric Rowe (new to team), RB D.J. Foster, TE Clay Harbor.

There are a few key takeaways from these inactives:

  1. D.J. Foster, who attended Arizona State, will not be playing against the Arizona Cardinals. That has to be a disappointment for him.
  2. Eric Rowe is listed as a cornerback, and not a safety. That’s a good fact.
  3. AJ Derby appears to be ahead of Clay Harbor in the tight end depth chart.
  4. WRs Danny Amendola and Malcolm Mitchell will be active, which is fantastic for both players.
  5. EDs Jabaal Sheard, Trey Flowers, and Shea McClellin will all be active, which will help bolster the Patriots already strong defense.

The Cardinals have made the below players inactive:
