The New England Patriots have declared CB Alfonzo Dennard, RB James White, LB Jamie Collins, WR Kenbrell Thompkins, DL Michael Buchanan, C Ryan Wendell, DE Zach Moore inactive for Week 2.

  Patriots | Three ruled out for Week 2    Sat Sep 13, 09:20 PM

New England Patriots Jamie Collins (thigh), Ryan Wendell (knee) and Michael Buchanan (ankle) have been ruled out for the team's Week 3 game Sunday, Sept. 14.

Footballguys view: Collins is a loss for a team that had a lot of trouble with the Dolphins last week. He can rush the passer and drop into coverage with equal aplomb. The Patriots defense seemed to be a lot stronger with the addition of Darrelle Revis, but that change is yet to be seen.

The New England Patriots have declared WR Aaron Dobson, C Bryan Stork, DL Chris D. Jones, LB Darius Fleming, RB James White, OL Josh Kline, DL Michael Buchanan inactive for Week 1.

Footballguys view: Rob Gronkowski is active and should be in your lineups despite a likely limited snap count. Dobson played in the fourth preseason game, but the Patriots are being cautious and holding him out, giving Kenbrell Thompkins a chance to make some noise today.

  Patriots | Michael Buchanan has chance to make roster    Sun Jul 13, 08:08 PM

New England Patriots DE Michael Buchanan has a good chance to make the final roster because of his special teams play. Buchanan hopes to earn a role on defense during training camp.

Footballguys view: Buchanan is known as a hustle-player. He has the raw physical ability to get off the snap cleanly and push his man back. Buchanan gets by on hustle and determination. That sounds like a player who fits the Patriots mold.

The New England Patriots have declared WR Aaron Dobson, OG Chris Barker, TE DJ Williams, DL Jake Bequette, WR Kenbrell Thompkins, DL Michael Buchanan, LB Steve Beauharnais inactive for Week 15.

Footballguys view: Josh Boyce will get more work as a receiver with Dobson and Thompkins out. He is a deep desperation play with a little bump if your league gives distance TD bonuses.

The New England Patriots signed DE Michael Buchanan Tuesday, May 28. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Buchanan is a strong edge setter with the length to get after the passer. He has a good work ethic and is known as a very coachable player. He'll work as a rotational pass rusher for the Patriots in 2013.

  Patriots | Michael Buchanan could be used as OLB in 3-4    Sat May 11, 02:47 PM

The New England Patriots could use DE Michael Buchanan as an outside linebacker if the team decides to use the 3-4 defensive alignment at times this season. Buchanan likely will need to contribute on special teams if he wants to make the team.

Footballguys view: Buchanan uses a devastating spin move to surprise blockers, and he can execute it at full speed. He needs to develop more pass-rushing moves in order to play up to his full potential. He's a tall prospect (6'6") who has the winspan to bat down passes or block kicks.
