Quarterback Jarrett Stidham returned to the New England active roster on Tuesday, making him eligible to play for the Patriots again.
New England restored the former Auburn signal-caller to the 53-player active roster after he’d spent the first nine weeks of the NFL season on reserve/physically unable to perform.
Stidham had surgery on July 28 because of a back injury.
The Patriots had until Wednesday to activate Stidham or leave him on the reserve list for the remainder of the season.
Stidham returned to practice on Oct.
