Patriots' Harvey Langi: Won't return this season

Langi (knee) was not activated from injured reserve before his 21-day window expired, meaning he is out for the season, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Langi had been expected to return but team needs elsewhere on the roster apparently trumped that possibility. He'll finish his fourth NFL season having recorded three tackles (one solo) in seven games in a predominantly special-teams role.
