From BostonGlobe.com:
The Patriots yesterday released Colvin and linebacker Oscar Lua, a 2007 seventh-round draft choice who spent last season on injured reserve after hurting his knee in an exhibition game.
By cutting the 30-year-old Colvin, the Patriots save $5.8 million on their salary cap as they prepare for the start of free agency Friday at 12:01 a.m.
Oscar just can't find any luck. He was injured in the final preseason game.
From The Patriot Ledger:
Promising rookie inside linebacker Oscar Lua violated the first rule of the fourth preseason game - don’t get hurt.
Lua suffered a right leg injury on the opening drive of Thursday night’s preseason finale against the New York Giants and did not return. He barely made it off the field and then lay on his back on the Patriots sideline for several minutes while the athletic training staff worked on him. He eventually made his way gingerly to the locker room.
Before the injury, Lua seemed to have a good shot at making the 53-man roster. His bad luck could be good news for Corey Mays' bid to make cut.
Tough luck for Oscar.
Soaking it all in at the Patriots Passing Camp.
