The clock is ticking as the Patriots have mere minutes to add tight end Benjamin Watson to their active roster.
Watson was available but did not suit up for the Patriots on Sunday.
He was reportedly seen in the locker room telling reporters that he will speak with the media tomorrow.
He notified everyone that he has yet to be activated.
Ben Watson is here in the locker room. He said he’ll talk to the media tomorrow. I asked if that meant he’d be activated, he said it does not. When asked if he’s been activated, he said he hasn’t.
Patriots have until 4 pm to activate him
