FOXBORO, Mass. -- The New England Patriots placed three players, including All-Pro punter Rich Camarillo, on injured reserve Tuesday and claimed three others on waivers.

The roster moves pared the Patriots' roster to the NFL's 49-player limit.

Defensive back Paul Dombroski, a fifth-year pro, second-year linebacker Ed Reynolds, and tight end Brooks Williams, in his seventh season, were recalled after being waived by New England Monday.

Placed on the injured reserve list along with Camarillo, a fourth-year pro, are second-year linebacker Johnny Rembert and second-year wide receiver Clarence Weathers. Camarillo and Rembert both have knee injuries; Weathers suffered a broken foot early in training camp.

On Monday, New England sought to improve its secondary by acquiring rookie cornerback Rod McSwain from Atlanta in exchange for a conditional draft pick. The Patriots had hoped to acquire McSwain in this year's draft, despite his experience at defensive back being limited to his senior year at Clemson.
