Patriots Bolster Roster Ahead of Bills Showdown

FOXBOROUGH, MA – The New England Patriots have made several roster moves in preparation for their Sunday matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The team announced the signing of running back D’Ernest Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster. This move comes in response to placing running back Terrell Jennings on injured reserve.

Additionally, the Patriots have elevated defensive lineman Leonard Taylor III from the practice squad. Taylor, a former New York Jets player, originally entered the league as a rookie free agent in 2024. Taylor was signed to the Patriots’ practice squad on Oct. 16. He has 27 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 16 games. He will look to provide depth on the defensive line, with Milton Williams sidelined and veterans Christian Barmore, Harold Landry III, and Khyiris Tonga having missed practice recently.

The Patriots are hoping these additions will provide much-needed support as they face a tough divisional opponent in the Bills.
