FOXBORO -- With an open roster spot and Hunter Henry dealing with a minor injury at the moment, the Patriots added some tight end depth to the roster on Thursday. New England has reportedly signed Jalen Wydermyer out of Texas A&M.
The signing, which was first reported by Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network, brings the New England roster to 85 players.
Wydermyer was once seen as one of the top tight end prospects in the country, but he didn't have the breakout 2021 season for the Aggies that many had anticipated. After he didn't test well at the NFL Combine or at his Pro Day, Wydermyer's draft stock dropped significantly.
