Around the NFL Week 9

From web news today..has been slowed a bit by knee injuries, but was playing pretty well.

Moore was released four different times during the 2011 season, twice by the Raiders and twice more by the Patriots, before eventually sticking in New England. This season, Moore carved out a solid role as the Patriots nickel cornerback and developed into a fairly reliable contributor in an otherwise underachieving secondary. Only furthering the curiosity of his release.

The Patriots boast the fifth-worst passing defense in the NFL, allowing opposing quarterbacks to throw for 281 yards per game, against a secondary that's been hampered by injuries in recent weeks.

Moore has been among those ailing, dealing with a recurring knee injury since early in the season. Patrick Chung, Steven Gregory, Marquice Cole and Kyle Arrington have all been sidelined for varying amounts of time this season. Moore's release could be a sign of improving health for some if not all of those players, which would help tighten up that defensive unit.

Meanwhile Moore, who still has practice squad eligibility -- although limited -- could be given some additional time to rehab.
