Dan Connolly, Patriots last lineman of offense
Correction to a post from Wednesday (yesterday) night: New England Patriots do have an offensive lineman on its practice squad, contrary to what I claimed. Dan Connolly was added to the squad on September 12. Connolly is listed as 6-4, 318. He entered the league in 2005 and was signed by Jacksonville Jaguars. He played tackle in college at Southeast Missouri State but was switched to guard by the Jaguars. He’s never started in the NFL but did play in four games in the 2005 season, including against the Patriots in an AFC Wild Card game at Gillette Stadium on January 7, 2006, when New England won, 28-3. Connolly spent the 2006 season on Injured Reserve. I assume Patriots beast of a tight end Kyle Brady, who played for the Jaguars 1999-2006, has vouched for Connolly.
