Patriots settle injury dispute with Andrew Rupcich prior to roster decisions

The New England Patriots have reached an injury settlement with offensive lineman Andrew Rupcich, who was sidelined with an MCL strain during a preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts. Rupcich, who started at left guard, is now set to go through waivers, with the possibility of being claimed by another team. This move comes as the Patriots contend with four players remaining on injured reserve, including running back Myles Montgomery and wide receiver Jeremiah Webb. Rupcich had joined the team last September and was competing for a spot on the 53-man roster ahead of the upcoming preseason against the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday.
