The Patriots made a pair of signings on Wednesday when New England added wide receiver Trent Sherfield Sr. and linebacker Patrick Johnson to its practice squad.
Sherfield was released by the Patriots day before the AFC Championship Game against his former Denver Broncos team. New England originally signed the wideout 11 days prior for depth.
The 29-year-old began the 2025 season with the Broncos. He appeared in 10 games (three starts) and caught three passes for 21 yards.
Johnson, a seventh-round draft pick by the Eagles in 2021, returned to Philadelphia this season after spending time with the New York Giants in 2024.
In nine games for the Eagles, Johnson amassed eight total tackles, one tackle for loss and two quarterback hits.
The Patriots return to practice Thursday as they begin preparations for Super Bowl 60 and the Seattle Seahawks . They fly to Santa Clara on Sunday and will spend the week out west before the big game Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium.
