			<p><p>FOXBORO &mdash; Of the Patriots&rsquo; five Super Bowl victories, two have occurred in Houston.</p>
<p>The Patriots capped the 2003 season by defeating the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVIII and ended last season with an unbelievable and unforgettable comeback to edge the Atlanta Falcons in overtime in Super Bowl LI.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Houston is a special city to our family and our organization,&rdquo; Patriots owner Robert Kraft said Monday in a statement that announced the Kraft family will match up to $1 million in funds donated to the American Red Cross in support of the Hurricane Harvey Disaster Relief Fund.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t want to speak for Mr. Kraft in any way, but that&rsquo;s just the type of guy that Mr. Kraft is,&rdquo; said linebacker Elandon Roberts, who grew up about 95 miles east of Houston and attended the University of Houston. &ldquo;He always wants to help out.&rdquo;</p>
<p>In addition, the NFL Foundation and Houston Texans&rsquo; owner Robert McNair pledged $1 million each to the United Way Relief Fund on Monday.</p>
<p>For those interested in following Kraft's lead, albeit on a smaller scale, text HARVEY to 90999 to donate $10 to the Red Cross relief fund for Hurricane Harvey.</p>
<p>Making moves</p>
<p>The Patriots made a series of roster moves on Thursday, signing three undrafted defensive players, to fill their 90-man roster. After releasing three players (Kony Ealy, Matt Lengel and Caleb Kidder) this past weekend, the team signed Christian Kuntz, Mikey Bart and Nick Usher.</p>
<p>All three newcomers were seen warming up with the linebackers at the beginning of Monday&rsquo;s practice.</p>
<p>Kuntz is an undrafted free agent out of Duquesne. The linebacker was a two-time All-American and finished his collegiate career with 30.5 sacks. He was invited to Tampa Bay&rsquo;s rookie minicamp this past spring.</p>
<p>Bart is an undrafted free agent out of North Carolina where he played defensive end. He finished last season with 34 tackles and four sacks. Bart signed with Arizona after the draft, but was released in June. Usher is a 6-foot-3 linebacker from UTEP. He finished with 77 tackles and 5.5 sacks last season. He signed with Seattle after going undrafted, but was released on July 30.</p>
<p>Injury report</p>
<p>A few more names were added to the Patriots&rsquo; injury list to start this week.</p>
<p>In preparation for their final preseason games, the Patriots were without Nate Ebner, Harvey Langi, Malcolm Mitchell, Nate Solder, Shea McClellin, Tony Garcia, Derek Rivers and Julian Edelman to start Monday&rsquo;s practice. Ebner and Langi are surprises since they practiced last week. Langi played in Detroit while Ebner did not. Solder returned to practice last week so it&rsquo;s unknown if he suffered another setback.</p>
<p>Not all the news was bad, however, as Rex Burkhead and Matthew Slater returned to practice. Burkhead missed all of last week&rsquo;s practice after shining against Houston. This marks Slater&rsquo;s first practice since suffering a hamstring injury in practice on Aug. 2.</p>
<p>The Patriots also got defensive ends Deatrich Wise and Geneo Grissom back at practice. The two players were present last week, but would depart to the conditioning field when drills started. They were back with their pass-rushing teammates on Monday.</p>
<p>The Patriots also made a bevy of roster moves on Monday, adding three new defensive players. The trio, whose names we&rsquo;ll know later this afternoon, wearing were numbers 66, 64 and 46. They warmed up with the linebackers when practice started.</p></p>
