Steve Gregory - DB - Patriots

Patriots FS Steve Gregory (hip) and CB Kyle Arrington (concussion) have resumed practicing.

The Pats are putting in a full-pads practice, which suggests both players have been cleared for game action this week. With Aqib Talib returning from suspension in Week 11, New England is getting reinforcements for a beleaguered secondary.

Steve Gregory - DB - Patriots

Patriots FS Steve Gregory (hip) has been ruled out for Week 5.

With Gregory out, rookie Tavon Wilson will make his first NFL start. Wilson has two interceptions and two fumble recoveries to go along with 11 total tackles in the first four games rotating with Chung and Gregory. Wilson has also played in three-safety sets as a hybrid linebacker in sub formations.

Steve Gregory - DB - Patriots

ESPN Boston confirms Steve Gregory is the leading candidate for the Patriots' starting free safety job.

Other potential candidates include second-round FS Tavon Wilson, James Ihedigbo, and veteran CB Will Allen. Gregory figures to open training camp as the starter based on seniority, but will likely face heavy competition from Wilson, who's the superior talent.

Steve Gregory - DB - Patriots

Patriots signed S Steve Gregory to a three-year contract.

The Broncos and Panthers were also interested in the long-time Bolt, but he'll head to a team that sported one of the league's most dysfunctional secondaries in 2011. The Union-Tribune San Diego's Michael Gehlken reports Gregory will be New England's starting free safety after he played strong safety for the Chargers.

Steve Gregory - DB - Patriots

Free agent SS Steve Gregory will visit the Patriots.

ESPN Boston reports the Broncos and Panthers have also "checked in" on Gregory. He had a rough age-28 campaign in 2011, but would still be an upgrade for a Pats team that was often making it up as it went along in the secondary last season.

Steve Gregory - DB - Patriots

Free agent SS Steve Gregory has reportedly received interest from three teams about a visit.

The teams haven't been disclosed, but Gregory is reportedly viewed as a starter. The Chargers seem likely to lose Gregory after failing to commit to him as more than a reserve.

Steve Gregory - DB - Patriots

Free agent SS Steve Gregory says he will test the open market this offseason in search of a starting job.

"I feel like I'm a legit starter in this league," said Gregory, who started 13 games this past season, but not by design. He was thrust into the lineup by Bob Sanders' year-ending injury. Unfortunately, Gregory may not be pleased by what he finds on the market. He graded 74th among 86 NFL safeties by Pro Football Focus this season, and caused just one turnover (a pick six).

Steve Gregory - DB - Patriots

NFL Network's Alex Flanagan reports Chargers SS Steve Gregory (thigh) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Raiders.

Gregory injured himself in Wednesday's practice. Pro Football Focus grades Gregory as slightly below average in coverage and against the run. Veteran Paul Oliver will fill in opposite Eric Weddle, with rookie Shareece Wright providing depth. Also inactive for the Bolts in Week 10: WR Malcom Floyd, OLB Shaun Phillips, WR Bryan Walters, OG Kris Dielman, DE Vaughn Martin, and LB Darryl Gamble.

Steve Gregory - DB - Patriots

Chargers SS Steve Gregory has played every defensive snap in each of the last two games.

When Bob Sanders (knee) went down, the undersized Gregory was expected to be spelled at times by Paul Oliver. But the former undrafted free agent is holding his own and running with the job. He has ten tackles over the last two weeks.

Steve Gregory - DB - Patriots

Steve Gregory will be the Chargers' starting strong safety going forward.

Bob Sanders (knee) is predictably done for the year. Gregory played every snap against the Chiefs last week, recording five tackles. He'll be spelled at times by the newly re-signed Paul Oliver this week.

Steve Gregory - DB - Patriots

Chargers SS Steve Gregory (doubtful, shoulder) is unlikely to play in Week 11 against the Broncos.

Paul Oliver will fill in for Gregory. Although the reserve safety will have his hands full with Kyle Orton and the volatile Denver passing attack, the Chargers have impressively yielded only eight touchdown passes through nine games this season, good for second fewest in the NFL.

Steve Gregory - DB - Patriots

Chargers SS Steve Gregory injured his shoulder in the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Texans and did not return.

Steve Gregory - DB - Patriots

Steve Gregory is back in the Chargers' starting lineup after sitting out four games for violating the league's policy against performance enhancers.

Gregory had been the Chargers' leading tackler leading up to the suspension, so this is a nice boost for the defense. He has been an every-down player this season, though the Bolts may opt to have him rotate in his first game back.

Steve Gregory - DB - Patriots

NFL reinstated Chargers SS Steve Gregory from suspension.

He'll be eligible to resume playing in Week 9 against the Texans. Suspended four games for alleged use of Performance Enhancing Drugs, Gregory racked up 30 tackles (25 solo) and an interception in four starts before the ban.
