Patriots reportedly re-signing veteran edge rusher to practice squad
The Patriots are reportedly bringing edge rusher Jose Ramirez back to their practice squad ahead of Week 8.
The New England Patriots have reportedly re-signed veteran edge rusher Jose Ramirez to their practice squad, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss. This move comes as part of the team's efforts to bolster depth in their 17-man practice unit while dealing with a number of injuries. Ramirez, who was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the 196th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has already played in two games this season.
He has recorded one tackle and contributed significantly on special teams for the Patriots. Ramirez was previously released by the team before being reinstated to the practice squad. His return provides the Patriots with an additional familiar face to draw upon as they navigate their practice squad throughout the season. Currently, Harold Landry is on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, which has created opportunities for other players such as Elijah Ponder, Gabe Jacas, and Dre’Mont Jones to step up and make an impact.
Ramirez’s experience on special teams could prove valuable for the Patriots as they work through injuries and assess their options at the defensive line.
