Brenden Schooler Activated by Patriots Ahead of Raiders Game

The New England Patriots activated special teams captain Brenden Schooler from the non-football injury list after he missed training camp and the first four games due to a back issue. Schooler progressed from limited to a full participant in practice without carrying a game designation. As an undrafted free agent who earned All-Pro honors, his return provides a major boost to New England's special teams unit on the eve of their matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
