The New England Patriots made a surprising elevation from their practice squad Saturday before their Week 3 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Patriots temporarily elevated wide receiver Isaiah Zuber from the practice squad to the active roster, and the undrafted rookie wound up playing six offensive snaps. He was returned to the practice squad Monday.
Zuber was used creatively in his NFL debut, picking up 13 yards on a jet sweep. He also lined up in the backfield was used as a pitch option on a play that wound up as a handoff to running back Rex Burkhead in the red zone.
