Patriots | James Develin healthy Mon Aug 1, 09:36 AM
New England Patriots FB James Develin (leg) is fully recovered from a broken right leg that cost him the entire 2015 season. He's ready to return to form; without him in 2015, the Patriots' rushing game posted its worst totals since Develin joined the team in 2012.
Footballguys view: This should be a boost to LeGarrette Blount, especially in the first four games that Tom Brady will miss, that is assuming Blount makes the roster. |

Patriots | Martellus Bennett dodges a bullet Wed Jun 8, 10:42 PM
New England Patriots TE Martellus Bennett (knee) had a minor injury scare at one point in practice Wednesday, June 8, during minicamp. The veteran was attended to by the training staff, focusing on his left knee. After a brief absence he was able to return to drills and team work. Bennett worked with FB James Develin and fellow TEs A.J. Derby and Michael Williams on blocking drills.
Footballguys view: The Patriots are going to be able to do a lot with Bennett and Rob Gronkowski this year. Bennett has yet to fully play up to his potential, but the opportunity is there with a high-powered offense like the Patriots. |

Patriots | James Develin has good chance to make team Thu Jul 3, 05:37 PM
New England Patriots FB James Develin has an inside track for a spot on the final roster because of his play on special teams.
Footballguys view: They've been using Develin as a psuedo-tight end, so with Rob Gronkowski still healing and no other exciting options at the position, Develin's ability to catch the ball will keep him rostered. |

Patriots | James Develin works as tight end Thu Jul 3, 01:31 PM
New England Patriots FB James Develin spent time working as a tight end during spring practices.
Footballguys view: The Patriots need some help at tight end, with Rob Gronkowski still healing and no other real threats on the horizon. Develin is a solid fullback, but has a little ways to go to be a consistent tight end. We'll be watching though as we know the value of a Patriots tight end can be high. |
