The release of Patriots receiver Joey Galloway and the broken arm suffered by Julian Edelman kicked the door of opportunity wide open. And then when coach Bill Belichick mentioned that the holes will likely be filled from within, the situation couldn’t be any clearer.

Does that mean we’ll say hello to Terrence Nunn from the practice squad and Brandon Tate from the reserve list? Maybe.

Let’s see what Nunn thinks…

“I just know that I’ve just got to go out there and keep working hard,” Nunn said. “I just got to go out there every day and just know what to do when the opportunity comes upon me. Just know the plays and just know, whenever I get the chance to get out there, just got to know what I’m doing.”

Nunn, a former free-agent signee from Nebraska sat out 2008 because of lack of interest. He came this camp and impressed. When he was put on the practice squad, he wasn’t upset.

“I was actually very excited,” he said, “from not being anywhere a year ago to just having the opportunity and felt like it was a blessing.”

 Does he feel he’s more prepared to contribute now?

“I feel like I’m a little more ready,” Nunn said, “because I’ve been studying harder and me and Tom (Brady) have been talking and me and Randy (Moss) have talked about different things and I’ve got to be prepared and ready to go.”

Nunn said he hasn’t been told whether he’ll be in London Sunday. Think you’ll see him?
