The New England Patriots' tight end depth chart just got even thinner.
Rookie TE Devin Asiasi was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction wire. Asiasi does not have a known injury, but he did miss Sunday's game vs. the Buffalo Bills due to personal reasons.
As a result of the IR designation, Asiasi will miss at least the next three games. That leaves the Patriots with fellow rookie Dalton Keene and Ryan Izzo at the tight end position.
