The Patriots raised some eyebrows last night by releasing the fact that Taylor Price tweaked his hamstring and now he’s inactive after testing out his hamstring in warmups. Veteran RB Kevin Faulk is inactive for today’s game, while rookie speedster Shane Vereen is active. Faulk had a team-high 11 touches last week, and will have none this week. In addition, DL Ron Brace will make his season debut, while, as expected, DL Shaun Ellis is out and WR Julian Edelman is playing after his arrest. Here is the complete list: QB Ryan Mallett, WR Taylor Price, RB Kevin Faulk, LB Dane Fletcher, G Donald Thomas, DL Shaun Ellis, DE Jermaine Cunningham. Source: Boston Herald
