New England Patriots LB Brandon Spikes has been placed on IR for showing up late to a team meeting according to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen:

The meeting in question is said to be on Friday during the team’s bye week. Its interesting that they chose to place him on IR instead of just releasing him. He has been battling a left knee injury as well so maybe thats why he was a little slow getting to the meeting.
He is also a free agent after this year so expect him to not be in a Patriots uniform next year.
