Report: Patriots place CB Marcus Jones on injured reserve, sign QB Will Grier to their 53-man roster

The New England Patriots’ quest to upgrade the depth in their quarterback room continues. The latest addition to the group is Will Grier: as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the fifth-year passer will join the New England 53-man roster.

Grier will fill a spot previously occupied by cornerback Marcus Jones.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Jones suffered a torn labrum on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins and is headed to injured reserve. He will miss at least the next four games.

Grier, 28, started his career as a third-round pick by the Carolina Panthers in the 2019 draft.
