          New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has talked in recent weeks about how the formation of the 10-man practice squad is a significant factor in putting a team's 53-man roster together. Using this morning's projected 53-man roster as a springboard, here is a projected practice squad for the Patriots, which assumes the players clear waivers:

          Quarterback

          None

          Running back

          Roy Finch

          Tight end

          Justin Jones/prospect from another team

          Wide receiver

          Jeremy Gallon

          Offensive line

          Jon Halapio

          Defensive line

          Jerel Worthy

          Linebacker

          Steve Beauharnais

          James Morris

          Cornerback

          Jemea Thomas

          Safety

          Tavon Wilson

          Kanorris Davis
