WR Tiquan Underwood Released

Underwood was informed of his release today. This reduces the number of receivers back to 12 and leaves 3 open roster spots.  Based on the state of the different positions, a player would have an opportunity at making the 53 man roster at safety (or defensive back, in general), defensive line, offensive line (particularly a versatile guard/tackle), or kick returner. Based on how the Patriots have valued kick returns, I see the chances of a return man as doubtful. I think the most likely signing is on defensive line.
