Scott to IR
The Patriots have placed cornerback Chad Scott on injured reserve today, ending his season. Scott was carted off the field in Friday's evening practice, and was holding his left knee.
Scott had been lining up with the first-team defense. Four-year veteran Randall Gay has taken that spot in recent practices.
Free-agent signee Tory James, a 12-year veteran, and rookie Brandon Meriweather have been getting work at corner with the second unit. Rookie Mike Richardson (sixth-round pick) and second-year man Gemara Williams have also taken reps.
The Patriots were already a bit thin without Asante Samuel, and this further hits at the team's depth.
