Molden Ready To Step Up For Patriots

FOXBORO (CBS) - With the release of Leigh Bodden on Friday and Ras-I Dowling landing on the IR, the spotlight is on Patriots corner Antwaun Molden in Pittsburgh.

Here are some of the things he had to say when asked about the increase in his role.

"I'm pretty sure everyone has the same problem, especially when you're married. It's a business, it's the NFL, so you come up away from your family and stuff. But I'm not the only one. I know a lot of others who do the same thing."

With change in group with Leigh Bodden being released, does that affect things?
"Not really, because everybody has a responsibility and the next guy is going to have to step up."
