Another day, another new player for the Patriots: a tight end wearing number 82 was just brought onto the field and introduced to tight ends coach Pete Mangurian.

UPDATE: Stacey James tells us that it is Marcellus Rivers, a 6-foot-4, 250 pound former Oklahoma State product. Rivers has been in the league for seven years, with the Giants, Texans and Saints. We'll pass along more when we get it.

It makes sense, given that Garrett Mills and Matt Kranchick are the only healthy tight ends right now. But it makes you wonder what's up with Benjamin Watson, who hasn't been on the field in a couple of days. Kyle Brady has been injured as well, but we spotted him being put through a workout this morning with Richard Seymour, so he may be close to being back in uniform.
