72 days till Patriots season opener: Every player to wear No. 72 for New England

Here’s a list of every Patriots player to wear the No. 72 jersey number.

In celebration of the regular season opener only being 72 days away, we are listing every Patriots player that has worn the No. 72.

One of the immediate players that come to mind is three-time Pro Bowler and three-time Super Bowl champion, offensive tackle Matt Light, who spent 10 years with the Patriots.

Light has already been inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame, and he’s also a member of the Patriots’ All-Dynasty Team. He spent his entire career contributing to the early beginnings of the greatest dynasty in NFL history.

And of course, he wasn’t the only one.

So many great players have come before and after Light became a household name in New England. Here’s every Patriots player that wore the No. 72 throughout the franchise’s history (via Pro Football Reference):

Tennessee Titans sign OL Marshall Newhouse to 53-man roster

The veteran was signed to the practice squad in late November.

The Tennessee Titans have added some depth to the 53-man roster along the offensive line after signing veteran tackle Marshall Newhouse from their practice squad.

Newhouse was signed to Tennessee’s practice squad in late November and was elevated for the Week 13 game versus the Cleveland Browns. He offers some versatility thanks to his experience playing both guard and tackle spots.

Adding another tackle to the active roster became necessary after 2020 first-round pick and offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson was placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list on Wednesday.

With the addition of Newhouse, the Titans now have eight offensive linemen on their roster and three more on the practice squad. It’s possible one more gets added, as the team recently held a visit with tackle Jake Rodgers.

It has been an injury-filled season for the Titans at the left tackle spot, as Taylor Lewan tore his ACL in Week 6, and his replacement, Ty Sambrailo, was lost for the season after suffering an injury in Week 11.

Veteran tackle David Quessenberry is the third player to start at the position for Tennessee this season. Thankfully for the Titans, the rest of the team’s original starting offensive line remains intact.

The Titans will return to action on Sunday at TIAA Bank Field to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 14.

Titans’ Isaiah Wilson suspended by team for ‘violating club rules’

This is just the latest misstep for Wilson during his rookie campaign.

The Tennessee Titans have suspended offensive tackle and 2020 first-round pick, Isaiah Wilson, for Sunday’s contest versus the Cleveland Browns, the team announced Saturday evening.

Accordingly, the rookie out of the University of Georgia has been placed on the Reserve/Suspended list.

The franchise made a move based on Wilson’s violation of club rules, although it isn’t clear exactly what he did. Whatever the case may be, Wilson’s transgression will be added to a comedy of errors that outline his rookie season.

On July 28th, Wilson was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list for the first time. A couple of weeks later, Tennessee State University police issued Wilson a trespassing warning when he attended an off-campus party that was broken up.

The first few weeks of September weren’t pretty, either, as Wilson was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list for a second time on September 6th, and then on the 11th was charged with a DUI after crashing his vehicle.

Wilson finally saw the field for the first time on November 29th, but he only played four snaps (one on special teams) towards the end of the Titans’ victory in Indianapolis.

Saturday evening, another strike, and Wilson has been suspended. Calling the beginning of his young career a roller-coaster ride would be putting it nicely. Wilson will have some work to do to gain the Titans organization’s confidence, and that of its fanbase moving forward.

The Titans also made a few roster moves Saturday and elevated offensive tackle Marshall Newhouse and linebacker Tuzar Skipper from the practice squad.

Tennessee Titans add OL Marshall Newhouse to practice squad

The Titans have added some veteran depth offensive line depth to their practice squad.

With the Tennessee Titans dealing with multiple injuries along the offensive line, the team has added veteran Marshall Newhouse to the practice squad after working him out earlier in the week.

Newhouse has nine years and 129 games (81 starts) of NFL experience with seven different teams under his belt, including three seasons with the Green Bay Packers, who drafted him in the fifth round of the 2010 NFL draft, and two with the New York Giants.

The 6-foot-4, 330-pound lineman most recently played for the New England Patriots in 2019, where he played in 15 games (nine starts). Newhouse has played at both tackle and guard spots during his career, offering versatility.

The move to add the 32-year-old to the practice squad comes in the wake of the Titans placing swing tackle Ty Sambrailo on Injured Reserve this week, where he joined the man he replaced, star left tackle Taylor Lewan.

Tennessee Titans to work out veteran OL Marshall Newhouse

The Titans are dealing with a slew of injuries along the offensive line.

With the need for more depth at the tackle spot due to injuries, the Tennessee Titans are set to work out offensive lineman Marshall Newhouse, per the league’s transactions wire.

The Titans were dealt yet another blow at the left tackle position in Week 11, as Ty Sambrailo came down with an undisclosed injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s victory over the Baltimore Ravens.

Per Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky, Sambrailo will “most likely” be out for the season, joining the list of the wounded at left tackle that also includes Taylor Lewan, who tore his ACL in Week 6.

Newhouse has played for seven different teams during his nine-year career, and most recently with the New England Patriots in 2019, where he played in 15 games (nine starts).

The 6-foot-4, 330-pound lineman would offer versatility also, as he has played at both guard and tackle spots.

As it stands now, David Quessenberry looks primed to step into the role as the starter at left tackle after he finished Sunday’s contest there when after Sambrailo exited.

Marshall Newhouse shares unique perspective on Cam Newton’s fit with Patriots

“Lo and behold, Cam was there, hours before me, walking on the treadmill, studying his playbook.”

Journeyman tackle Marshall Newhouse spent the 2019 season with the New England Patriots. The year prior, he spent half the season with the Carolina Panthers under Cam Newton’s command.

Newhouse understands both programs thoroughly, but more importantly, he understands how they’ve worked in the past couple years. He understands what the Patriots lost with Tom Brady and how Bill Belichick will maneuver with a new quarterback in the huddle.

Many questions have arisen about Newton’s strong personality and if it’ll work with the ‘Patriots Way.’ Brady, Rob Gronkowski and other players have flaunted strong personalities and it hasn’t been an issue. Newhouse joined Sirius XM NFL’s “Late Hits” last week and discussed the addition of Newton and how he’ll fit in New England.

“Some people who are just uncomfortable with a guy as strong in personality as Cam might see that as something that could cause friction, but people who are secure and understand what it takes to play in the NFL — both Bill Belichick and [offensive coordinator] Josh McDaniels as a staff and Cam Newton as a guy who has matured and competed and grown so much over the years — to those guys, none of this matters,” Newhouse said, transcribed by ESPN’s Mike Reiss.

“When I was in Carolina, I was new, getting traded in the middle of the season, and my mornings started early, cramming the playbook. Lo and behold, Cam was there, hours before me, walking on the treadmill, studying his playbook. Same in the afternoon, with Luke Kuechly, studying, getting extra film work. So the work part is not a question. You can call it flamboyance, but he’s just got a strong personality. He’s a leader.

“But when has Bill Belichick ever shied away from that? We just assume they don’t mesh with that kind of thing, but in reality, there are strong personalities all over the locker room. Everybody just knows their role. I think Cam will get there, and they’ll kind of help him define what his role is, and he’ll adapt to that. Them not being able to get along is just a fallacy, in my opinion.”

The Patriots had second-year quarterback Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer sitting atop the depth chart before Newton was signed. They haven’t announced a starter yet and Newton isn’t locked into that role just yet.

“Not sure what that will look like yet. I guarantee you don’t know, and we don’t know. That’s Bill’s M.O. He does what he feels is best at every moment in time,” Newhouse said.

“[Try to find] a way to make the Cam Newton thing work, but I wouldn’t shoo him in just yet, even though he’s got the ability. It’s all about health for him. They have a guy in Jarrett Stidham who I think they believe in. But he’s young and unproven. So there’s a lot of variables in play, with Cam not signing for what a normal quarterback of his caliber would get plays into that as well. [We’re] all going to find this out after they kind of figure things out within themselves.”

Health included, there will be many kinks to work out with the transition to New England’s next quarterback. Based off stories and endorsement from people around the league, it seems that Newton is fit for the role. Newhouse provides just another up-close example of why Newton is ready for the job.

This story about Cam Newton shows why Bill Belichick will love the QB

“You can call it flamboyance, but he’s just got a strong personality. He’s a leader.

Marshall Newhouse is one of the few NFL players with experience working with Bill Belichick and Cam Newton. Newhouse, a former New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers player, shared a story about the quarterback’s work ethic. It sounds like Newton is a lot like Tom Brady, who established a reputation for endless work ethic in New England before leaving for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this offseason.

Surely, that’s a part of the appeal for Belichick, who signed Newton to a one-year, incentive-laden deal. He’s likely to serve as the team’s starter in 2020. Newhouse spoke to Sirius XM NFL’s “Late Hits” program about Newton and the Patriots, as transcribed by ESPN:

“Some people who are just uncomfortable with a guy as strong in personality as Cam might see that as something that could cause friction, but people who are secure and understand what it takes to play in the NFL — both Bill Belichick and [offensive coordinator] Josh McDaniels as a staff and Cam Newton as a guy who has matured and competed and grown so much over the years — to those guys, none of this matters.”

“When I was in Carolina, I was new, getting traded in the middle of the season, and my mornings started early, cramming the playbook. Lo and behold, Cam was there, hours before me, walking on the treadmill, studying his playbook. Same in the afternoon, with Luke Kuechly, studying, getting extra film work. So the work part is not a question. You can call it flamboyance, but he’s just got a strong personality. He’s a leader.

“But when has Bill Belichick ever shied away from that? We just assume they don’t mesh with that kind of thing, but in reality, there are strong personalities all over the locker room. Everybody just knows their role. I think Cam will get there, and they’ll kind of help him define what his role is, and he’ll adapt to that. Them not being able to get along is just a fallacy, in my opinion.”

It sounds like it won’t take Newton long to win over the Patriots, who will likely adapt their offense to fit the quarterback’s unique skill set.

Ted Karras leads Patriots’ performance-based pay

Three Patriots earned a chunk of change for their performances in 2019.

Center Ted Karras was among three New England Patriots to earn an extra chunk of change for their services in 2019.

The NFL has had a performance-based pay program since 2002 that rewards players who have low salaries, but play high snap counts. The NFL’s top 25 earners from this pool were announced on Thursday.

Karras led the Patriots on the list at No. 2, cornerback J.C. Jackson landed at No. 9 and tackle Marshall Newhouse landed at No. 22. The NFL’s highest earner on the list was Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Charvarius Ward.

Karras is set for a big payday in free agency this offseason after an outstanding outing in 2019. Newhouse will hit free agency this offseason, while Jackson is under contract for another year with the Patriots.

Bill Belichick praises Isaiah Wynn ahead of potential return

“Yeah, he’s working hard. He’s always ready to go.”

Tom Brady may have a new blindside blocker when the New England Patriots play the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at Gillette Stadium.

Patriots left tackle Isaiah Wynn is eligible to return to the game day active roster this weekend after coming off injured reserve earlier this week. As we saw with receiver N’Keal Harry, who was a healthy scratch in his first week after returning from IR, the Patriots don’t always rush their players back into action. Belichick wouldn’t commit to playing Wynn on Sunday.

“Isaiah always works hard,” Belichick said during a press conference on Friday at Gillette Stadium. “He did a lot of scout team work to get timing back, so working against the defense. Yeah, he’s working hard. He’s always ready to go.”

Wynn would replace tackle Marshall Newhouse, who has been serving as the team’s left tackle in Wynn’s absence. Belichick praised Newhouse’s play on Monday, but the left tackle has struggled while allowing consistent pressure to get to Brady over the last few weeks. Wynn’s return would be a welcome sight for the offense. But his presence on game day will depend upon how his body is responding to his increased workload at practice this week.

“We’ll see how it goes today,” Belchick said. “We’ll see how things turn out after the first two days. Sometimes, when guys do a little more, they are good. Sometimes, they are a little sore, so maybe there’s a little — I don’t want to say setback. But maybe things doesn’t always come together as quickly as it might in other cases.”
