The Patriots have activated Chase Winovich (hamstring) off injury reserve, while Josh Uche takes his spot after he suffered an ankle injury, the team announced yesterday. Both, coincidentally, were once Michigan teammates. Malcolm Perry was also released by the team.

Uche was questionable heading into Thursday night but New England placed him on the IR. Winovich returns after being placed on IR on October 19th.

Perry was placed on IR ahead of Week 1 and has been on it ever since. The 24-year-old was picked up on waivers by New England right before the season started, but never got his chance in a Patriots uniform.
