Patriots re-sign TE D.J. Williams; TE Rob Gronkowski placed on injured reserve

Gronkowski suffered a knee injury in the third quarter of Sunday's win against the Cleveland Browns

Chris Harper, WR -- Every summer an undrafted player utilizes preseason success to steal a roster spot. Harper has been very impressive through two weeks of action as both a receiver and a returner. Maybe with the depth issues at receiver the youngster can even get some reps working with Tom Brady as he continues to battle to stick around once September comes.
