The New England Patriots have announced their first practice squad of the 2025 season, and it is one filled with a lot of familiar names. In fact, it is filled only with familiar names: all of the 16 players whose signings have been made official by the organization on Wednesday afternoon were previously released by the team.
This includes a pair of 2025 draft picks. Fifth-round outside linebacker Bradyn Swinson, who was arguably the most surprising cut ahead of Tuesday’s roster deadline, is part of the group, as is seventh-round cornerback and this year’s “Mr. Irrelevant” Kobee Minor.
