What happened: The Patriots have two open 53-man roster spots, with one set to go to Ben Brown on a re-signing. Mike Vrabel is scheduled to speak at 1 p.m., followed by locker-room access and a 2:15 p.m. practice.

Why it matters: Brown's return would leave New England with one opening on the active roster. Outside-linebacker additions remain under consideration.

What to watch: New England's practice and any roster moves are next on the schedule.
