Bengals poach offensive lineman from Falcons’ practice squad

Bengals poach Falcons offensive lineman off practice squad, per report…

The Atlanta Falcons have now had a player poached off their practice squad in back-to-back weeks. According to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Cincinnati Bengals have signed offensive lineman Andrew Stueber.

The Falcons claimed Stueber off waivers back in June but he did not make the 53-man roster out of training camp. Stueber was selected in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL draft by the New England Patriots. The former Michigan offensive tackle has yet to play in an NFL game.

Stueber was poached from Atlanta’s practice squad exactly one week after the team lost rookie Zion Logue to the Buffalo Bills. Logue, a sixth-round pick out of Georgia, was one of four defensive linemen selected by the Falcons in the 2024 draft.

Atlanta’s rookie class has barely contributed this season, but second-round pick Ruke Orhorhoro made his NFL debut against the Buccaneers. According to Pro Football Focus, Orhorhoro finished among the 10 highest-graded players on the team in Week 5.

The Falcons now have an opening on their 16-man practice squad. Check out the team’s updated 53-man roster and practice squad HERE!

Bengals claim player off Falcons’ practice squad after Week 5 loss

The Bengals made an addition to the roster by swiping a player from the Falcons.

Coming out of the Week 5 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the Cincinnati Bengals got started on what could be extensive roster moves by signing guard Andrew Stueber off the Atlanta Falcons practice squad.

The news comes from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and comes in the wake of Bengals tackle Amarius Mims suffering an injury during the loss to the Ravens.

Stueber spent the first two years of his career with New England after being selected in the seventh round, then went to Atlanta via a waiver claim over the summer.

Now, the Bengals add a little more depth to the interior of the offensive line, perhaps to give themselves wiggle room to have Cody Ford focus on tackle, should Mims need to miss time—and with Trent Brown already lost for the season.

Falcons claim OL Andrew Stueber off waivers, per report

The Falcons have claimed OL Andrew Stueber off waivers from the Patriots, according to a report from ESPN

The Atlanta Falcons have claimed offensive lineman Andrew Stueber off waivers, according to a report from ESPN’s Marc Raimondi (via Mike Reiss). Stueber, 24, was selected by the New England Patriots in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL draft.

The former Michigan Wolverines offensive lineman has not appeared in a regular season game yet, spending most of the 2023 season on the Patriots practice squad. Stueber has some position versatility, playing both tackle and guard during his career at Michigan.

The Falcons officially announced Stueber’s signing on Tuesday evening. In a corresponding move, the team released wide receiver JaQuae Jackson. Check out the team’s updated 90-man roster by uniform number.

Report: Patriots waiving former 2022 NFL draft pick offensive lineman

Another one bites the dust for the Patriots’ 2022 NFL draft class

The New England Patriots have informed third-year offensive lineman Andrew Stueber he is being waived, according to a report from ESPN’s Mike Reiss on Monday.

Stueber entered the NFL as a seventh-round draft pick after playing offensive tackle during his collegiate run at Michigan. However, he has been taking reps at guard during OTAs.

His chances of making the roster at that position were never good considering the depth in place. He’d have to play catch-up with Sidy Sow, Atonio Mafi, Nick Leverett and Michael Jordan. The Patriots also used a fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft on Layden Robinson.

So Stueber was clearly on the outside looking in.

Stueber never got an opportunity to gain any traction early on after suffering a hamstring injury as a rookie. He then spent the 2023 season on the practice squad at a time when the Patriots actually needed help at the tackle position.

That never boded well for his future with the team.

Patriots make multiple late moves before Bills game

The Patriots made a slew of moves on Saturday, including putting wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster on injured reserve.

The New England Patriots made a slew of moves on Saturday, including putting veteran wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster on injured reserve.

It’s a tough end to an overall disappointing season for Smith-Schuster, who was initially brought in to be the replacement for Jakobi Meyers. Smith-Schuster had his best showing in his last outing as a Patriot, hauling in four passes for 90 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

But he finished the season with only 29 total receptions for 260 yards and one touchdown. It was the worst season of Smith-Schuster’s NFL career, and it paled in comparison to what Meyers was able to do in his first season with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Along with putting Smith-Schuster on IR, the Patriots also announced they had signed safety Joshuah Bledsoe to the 53-man roster, along with elevating tight end Matt Sokol and offensive lineman Andrew Stueber ahead of Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills.

Injuries have clearly taken a toll on the Patriots’ roster. Now, they’re being forced to look even further down the depth chart to make up for it on the road against one of the NFL’s hottest teams.

Studs and duds from Patriots’ preseason win vs. Packers

Who were the studs and duds of the weekend for the Patriots?

The New England Patriots made the trek to Lambeau Field on Saturday to face thousands of screaming cheese heads and the Green Bay Packers.

It was mostly a mixed bag performance for the Patriots, who ultimately came out on top in  a 21-17 victory. The game was suspended early in the fourth quarter after Patriots rookie cornerback Isaiah Bolden suffered a head injury that required him to be rushed to the hospital.

It was later reported that Bolden was released from Aurora Bay Medical Center and allowed to travel back home with his teammates.

Although the Patriots didn’t play a full football game, there were more than enough moments to pick the studs and duds from a little over three quarters of action. Here’s who stood out the most for New England in the game.

64 days till Patriots season opener: Every player to wear No. 64 for New England

Here’s a list of every Patriots player to wear the No. 64 jersey number.

The New England Patriots are 64 days away from opening the season on September 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

So we’re continuing our ongoing countdown series by listing every Patriots player that has worn the No. 64 throughout franchise history.

The number is currently worn by second-year Patriots guard Andrew Stueber, who will face even more competition in training camp than he saw with the team a year ago. Things might be a bit thin for the Patriots at the tackle position, but they have a healthy supply of both veterans and rookies that could contribute at the guard position.

There have been 20 players that have worn the No. 69 in New England. It has mostly been a revolving door with few long-tenured players donning the jersey.

Here’s a list of every player for the Patriots that has worn the number (via Pro Football Reference):

67 days till Patriots season opener: Every player to wear No. 67 for New England

Here’s a list of every Patriots player to wear the No. 67 jersey number.

The New England Patriots are officially 67 days away from their regular season opener.

So we’re continuing our countdown series by listing every Patriots player that has ever worn the No. 67 jersey.

Two names that jump out in the Bill Belichick era are Dan Koppen and Ted Karras. Koppen was a reliable center for New England for nine seasons and helped the team win two Super Bowls. He also earned his one and only All-Pro nod in 2007, when helping the Patriots go unbeaten in the regular season.

Meanwhile, Karras also has two Super Bowl wins under his belt with the Patriots, before jumping ship to help anchor the offensive line for Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.

With those two names in mind, here’s every Patriots player that has worn the No. 67 throughout franchise history (via Pro Football Reference):

Regular season rookie grades for Patriots’ 2022 draft class

How did the Patriots’ rookies do this season? Patriots Wire’s Cam Garrity is handing out end-of-season grades to the 2022 draft class.

As the season comes to a close, there’s a full body of work now to look at just how well the New England Patriots’ 2022 draft class panned out.

Even though it is too early to make determinations on the entire class, we can see the potential of each player and piece together the reasons they were ultimately drafted by the team.

Were they hits or misses in their rookie seasons?

We’ll take a look at multiple things with the players, including their 2022 stats and PFF grade. And then they’ll be receiving a letter grade for the season when taking into account their total body of work.

Patriots rookie Andrew Stueber’s injury has been revealed

Andrew Stueber may be out for an extended period of time.

New England Patriots offensive lineman Andrew Stueber is out of commission due to injury, and now, there is a confirmed reason why.

Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson reported Thursday that the offensive tackle has a torn hamstring.

Stueber was selected in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL draft. The former Michigan product was part of an effort to beef up New England’s offensive line. Now, it appears we may have to wait a while.

He could be activated off the PUP list after four weeks. However, this injury is in line with what Dallas Cowboys tackle Tyron Smith is going through.  Smith’s timeline has been pushed to at least December.

New England may have to wait a bit for their offensive line depth to prove it’s worth. Now, the waiting game begins.
