The developmental group consists mainly of players who spent the summer with the team, as 12 players who were released or waived at the NFL’s 53-man roster deadline are now back in Foxborough.
Despite the flurry of movement, New England still has one open spot remaining on their 16-man practice squad. The initial members are also not set in stone, as teams across the league continue to finetune.
Speaking with the media on Wednesday, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick explained “that the roster-building process is far from complete.”
