Patriots elevate three from practice squad on eve of finale

The New England Patriots have turned to three members of the practice squad for Sunday’s season finale against the Miami Dolphins.

Defensive tackle Daniel Ekuale and cornerback D’Angelo Ross will serve as Covid-19 replacements while safety Sean Davis will serve as a standard elevation, according to the NFL transaction wire.

Ekuale, 27, played a season-high 22 defensive snaps during his most recent appearance. The 2018 undrafted free agent out of Washington State has recorded five tackles and two sacks through six games with New England. Joining the practice squad at its formation in September, Ekuale spent previous years between the Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars.
