New England Patriots shuffle Week 4 depth by releasing Corey Ballentine from the practice squad and signing Tyron Herring, while the Jets sign Mark Robinson off the Pats’ scout team. Herring’s size and zone-coverage instincts could bolster NEP’s secondary and special teams, while Ballentine’s veteran presence departs the depth chart. With a 1-2 start after the Steelers game, NEP must lean on a sharper practice squad to stabilize the defense and fuel fantasy upside behind the starters.

Patriots add undrafted safety Tyron Herring to the practice squad as Corey Ballentine is released, reshaping New England’s DB depth. Herring, 6'1", 201, from Delaware, posted 121 tackles, 15 passes defended and five interceptions in college and spent time with Green Bay; Ballentine, 29, has seven NFL seasons. The Jets signed Mark Robinson off the Pats' scout team, and NE sits at 1-2 after Week 3, prompting tighter DB competition for Week 4.
