James Develin: Calls it a career
Develin (neck) announced his decision to retire from the NFL on Monday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Develin's decision was likely informed by the serious neck injury that limited him to just two games in 2019, as he opts to hang up the cleats ahead of his age-32 season. The fullback began his NFL career on Cincinnati's practice squad for two years before earning the starting gig in New England, where he contributed to three Super Bowl wins from 2012 through 2019. In addition to playing a key role as a blocker across 83 games with the team, Develin additionally accumulated five touchdowns and 31 receptions as a versatile, though seldom utilized, weapon out of the backfield.

Patriots' James Develin: Won't return this season
Develin (neck) will not return from injured reserve for the Patriots this season, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
The Patriots were eligible to designate two players to return off IR this season, and have used both designations on Isaiah Wynn (toe) and N'Keal Harry (ankle). As such, the veteran fullback will spend the rest of the 2019 season on IR, given that he's not a candidate to be released.

Patriots' James Develin: Hits injured reserve
The Patriots placed Develin (neck) on injured reserve Monday, Field Yates of ESPN.com reports.
Develin sat out Sunday's win over the Jets due to an undisclosed neck injury suffered Week 2 versus Miami. It's possible that Develin could return midseason if he gets healthy, but that would restrict New England to bringing back only one of Isaiah Wynn (toe) or N'Keal Harry (ankle). The Patriots are a candidate to add another fullback to the roster, as the position plays an integral role in the team's running game.

Develin is primarily deployed as a blocker in New England's offense, though he has logged two carries for three yards across two contests.
