On the eve of the season opener against the Miami Dolphins, the New England Patriots elevated wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey and linebacker Harvey Langi from the practice squad.
ESPN’s Mike Reiss first reported the moves for Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Hard Rock Stadium.
Humphrey, 24, caught 13 passes for 140 yards and one touchdown during his preseason audition before being waived at the NFL roster deadline. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound target also served as a gunner and dove to deny a touchback at the doorstep of the end zone. Undrafted out of Texas in 2019, Humphrey spent his initial three campaigns between the practice squad and 53-man roster of New Orleans Saints, appearing in 18 games with six starts.
