Analysis: Patriots Sign DT Jeremiah Pharms, Elevate OT Conor McDermott From the Practice Squad for Sunday's Game vs. Commanders

The Patriots roster for Sunday's home tilt against the Commanders is set after the team made two roster moves on Saturday.

After creating an open roster spot by placing OL Calvin Anderson (illness) on injured reserve, the Patriots signed defensive tackle Jeremiah Pharms to the 53-man roster. Pharms had already reached the maximum three standard elevations from the practice squad in Weeks 4-6, so this allows the run-stuffing defensive tackle to have a game-day role once again.

Along with signing Pharms to the active roster, New England also elevated OT Conor McDermott from the practice squad for the second consecutive game.
