Quarterback Garrett Gilbert and tight end Matt Sokol have reverted to the New England Patriots’ practice squad, according to the NFL transaction wire.
Both served as standard elevations for Sunday’s 29-0 shutout victory over the Detroit Lions at Gillette Stadium.
Gilbert, 31, had re-signed for a third tour with New England last week. With starter Mac Jones doubtful due to a high-ankle sprain and veteran Brian Hoyer placed on injured reserve due to a concussion, he dressed as the lone backup to rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe against Detroit. A 2014 St. Louis Rams sixth-round draft choice who earned a Super Bowl XLIX ring, Gilbert was most recently with the Patriots in 2021.
