FOXBOROUGH, Mass.—The New England Patriots have placed rookie cornerback Terrence Wheatley on the injured reserve list with a wrist injury, ending his season.
Wheatley was selected by the Patriots in the second round of the 2008 draft. He appeared in six games this season and was hurt during New England’s 18-15 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 2.
The Patriots signed tight end Tyson DeVree from their practice squad to fill Wheatley’s spot on the active roster. DeVree, a rookie free agent from Colorado, first signed with the team in May.
Also Monday, the Patriots signed rookie linebacker Darrell Robertson to the practice squad. Robertson was released by the Dallas Cowboys on Aug. 30 and later played for the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League.
