Summary
Walter Rouse, a 25-year-old tackle, is heading to New England from Minnesota, with the Patriots sending a sixth-round pick and getting Rouse plus a seventh-rounder back.
Marcus Bryant’s move to injured reserve created the immediate need for tackle depth after the second-year lineman suffered a leg injury in the preseason and stopped practicing.
Brenden Schooler will open on the non-football injury list and miss at least four weeks, while veteran tackle James Hudson was released during Sunday’s cutdown.
New England still had 11 moves left before the 6 p.m. deadline, after also waiving players including Lan Larison, Matt Haack and Jeremiah Pharms Jr. as it finalized its 53-man roster.
