The Patriots activated Tavai (calf) from injured reserve Saturday.
Scouting Report
Plays the game with plenty of energy and aggression, which can work both for and against him. Has the size and lateral mobility to make an impact as an inside 'backer. Furthermore, he also has the ability to blitz up the gut to create havoc for quarterbacks. At times, he can get caught out of position because of his constant desire to make big plays. Needs to continue to work on his positioning and his consistency in order to remain on the field more.
Long Range Potential: Raw, talented linebacker with some upside.
