Without looking, and I forgot his name, who did Rypien replace? Seems Bortles would of challenged him.

Rypien replaced Driskoll as #2. Im guessing they were happy enough with Rypien's progress that made Bortles expendable. The only issue i can see with any of that is the experience factor. Bortles may suck but he's been around for a while so im a little surprised they didnt get to hang around. But i guess with Lock being healthy it made it irrelevant.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots have placed starting right guard Shaq Mason, reserve defensive end Derek Rivers and running back Sony Michel on the reserve/COVID-19 list, a source tells ESPN's Field Yates.
Those placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list either have tested positive for COVID-19 or are a close contact to someone who tested positive.
On Friday, the Patriots canceled practice after a positive COVID-19 test. Later that day, the club placed center James Ferentz on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
