Patriots practice squad tracker: Latest news, rumors and signings originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots trimmed down their roster to 53 players by Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline, but building out the initial practice squad for the upcoming NFL season remains a work in progress.
The Patriots announced their first seven practice squad signings Wednesday afternoon. All of them took part in Patriots training camp this summer.
A practice squad can have a maximum of 16 players, so we should expect more additions in the coming days and weeks.
The most notable name on the list is running back Kevin Harris. He had a good training camp and played very well in the third and final preseason game versus the Washington Commanders, during which he caught an 18-yard touchdown pass from rookie quarterback Drake Maye.
Harris was among the few somewhat surprising cuts the team made before getting its roster down to 53 players Tuesday.
Here’s the full list of players currently on the initial Patriots practice squad (This list will be updated as more additions are made):
UPDATE (Thursday, Aug. 29): Wide receiver Jalen Reagor, cornerback Isaiah Bolden, offensive guard Michael Jordan and defensive tackle Trysten Hill — the four players who were released Wednesday to make room for the team’s waiver wire additions — were in the Patriots’ locker room Thursday prior to practice, indicating they’re back on the practice squad.
The team also announced the additions of center Bryan Hudson, offensive guard Jerome Carvin and defensive end Brevin Allen to the practice squad.
