Oliver Ross released

Posted by Mike Reiss, Globe Staff October 28, 2008 06:18 PM

The Patriots announced that veteran offensive lineman Oliver Ross has been released.

Ross was signed as a veteran free agent June 2. He was placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list with a shoulder injury Aug. 30, and has not played in a game this season.

The release of Ross, who did not count against the 53-man roster limit, indicates the Patriots must be pleased with their depth at tackle.

Nick Kaczur (right ankle) is close to a return to action. Second-year player Mark LeVoir has been filling in at right tackle the last two weeks. The Patriots also have Wesley Britt at the position.

  1. well because he didnt count against the 53 man cap they cant add anyone without releasing more people correct?

  1. Andrew: That's right. His release did not open any roster spots.

  1. I say leave LeVoir in there. The protection seems a lot better since he has been at right tackle.

  1. LeVoir has faced faced a horrible defensive line at Denver and played against a career backup at St. Louis cause Little got hurt early and against San Deigo the tight end was used to help him most of the game. But 9 sacks in two games is still good protection?
