Patriots elevate veterans Mike Brown, Jeremiah Pharms Jr. from practice squad for Week 3
Sunday’s kickoff at EverBank Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET.
FOXBOROUGH, Massachusetts - On the eve of their Week 3 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the New England Patriots elevated two veterans from their practice squad. Safety Mike Brown and defensive tackle Jeremiah Pharms Jr. joined the roster, with both expected to revert back to the practice squad following the road trip. Brown, a 26-year-old from Miami of Ohio, joined the Patriots' active roster after not being tendered as a restricted free agent in March.
He has appeared in 35 games since entering the NFL in 2022, starting five games for the Titans in 2023. Pharms, 29, signed with the Patriots' practice squad following its formation in 2022. During his time with the team, he has recorded 45 tackles, two sacks, and a fumble recovery across 594 defensive and 128 special teams snaps.
To fully take the field, two additional player calls are required before the 53-man roster transactions can be made.
