Following a series of roster moves over the weekend, the New England Patriots were left with one open spot each on their 53-man active roster and their 16-player practice squad. While it remains to be seen how the club tackles the vacancy on the 53 — reactivating one of the four players now eligible to come off injured reserve is an option — we know how the 16th spot on the developmental roster will likely be filled.
As first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Patriots have re-signed cornerback Michael Jackson via their practice squad after he had already spent some time during training camp with the team.
