According to Mike Reiss, Brandon Tate has been placed on IR:


Sammy Morris has also been ruled out for tomorrow night's game.  He didn't travel with the team although the rest of the questionable players did; Eric Alexander, Chris Baker, Tully Banta-Cain, Ron Brace, Julian Edelman, Dan Koppen, Brandon Meriweather, James Sanders and Ty Warren.

The Patriots placed rookie receiver Brandon Tate (knee) on season-ending injured reserve Saturday, and promoted quarterback/receiver Isaiah Stanback from the practice squad to the active roster.

Tate, one of the team's two third-round draft choices, injured his knee in last Sunday's 27-17 win over the Dolphins. After opening the season on the non-football injury list, he was activated Oct. 24 and appeared in two games, serving as the primary kickoff returner and No. 4 receiver.

Stanback adds depth at receiver. The Patriots have Randy Moss, Wes Welker, and Sam Aiken atop the depth chart, and with rookie Julian Edelman (forearm) questionable for Sunday night's game against the Colts, Stanback could provide insurance.

Stanback also provides depth at quarterback, where the Patriots have been carrying just two this season, Tom Brady and rookie Brian Hoyer.

I had a bad feeling this was going to be the case, I hope he has not re-aggravated his previous injuries.  The Patriots should have Julian Edelman back tomorrow against the Colts, playing two slot receivers that would be a very interesting match up for the Colts defense.

The Patriots should have Julian Edelman back tomorrow against the Colts, I hope so!  And maybe we'll get to see more of BenJarvus Green-Ellis.  Clock management will be key in keeping Peyton Manning and company off the field.

Stanback over Nunn?

Interesting.
