The New England Patriots have had plenty of injuries in the middle of their defense, so with less than a half hour to go until the NFL trade deadline they may be close to bolstering their defensive front.

From Adam Schefter of ESPN:

Keep your eyes peeled, because a trade could go down soon.

Last year, the Patriots acquired Aqib Talib from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with 60 seconds to go before the deadline.
