Rookie Andrew Stueber placed on Patriots’ reserve/non-football injury list

Rookie seventh-round draft pick Andrew Stueber is being placed on the reserve/non-football injury list by the New England Patriots.

Stueber, a former standout at Michigan, is a versatile offensive lineman with experience at both the guard and tackle spots.

The move was made in compliance with Tuesday’s roster cut deadline, when NFL teams had to cut their roster down to 80 players. They also moved Ronnie Perkins to injured reserve, effectively ending the second-year outside linebacker’s season.

However, with Stueber being on the reserve/NFI list, he’ll actually be eligible to return to the field after missing the first four games of the season.

It was already going to be an uphill climb for Stueber in his rookie season considering he started training camp on the active/non-football injury list. He’s also coming in at a time when the offense is going through some schematic changes without an official offensive coordinator on the roster.

At the very least, he’ll have the chance to hit the ground running once he’s eligible to play.
