The New England Patriots will open their 2024 campaign against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium on Sunday, September 8 at 1:00 p.m. ET, which is now 26 days away.
Until the opening kickoff of the season for the Patriots, we'll be counting down each day by looking back at those who have worn each specific jersey number.
Since 1960, 15 players have worn No. 26 in New England, and with 26 days until their first game of the year, here's a look at everyone who's worn the number for the team:
DB Shaun Wade: 2023-Present
- Appeared in 20 games for New England over his first three seasons, recording 26 tackles and a pass defensed
- Expected to have a depth role in 2024
RB Sony Michel: 2018-20
- Appeared in 38 games for New England over three seasons, rushing for 2,292 yards and 14 touchdowns on 4.
