The Patriots need a bounce-back win to get their season back on track in a pivotal matchup with the Raiders in Las Vegas on Sunday afternoon.
On Saturday, the Patriots announced they are signing QB/WR Malik Cunningham to the 53-man roster, activating second-year WR Tyquan Thornton from injured reserve, and elevating WR Jalen Reagor and DL Jeremiah Pharms from the practice squad. To make room on the active roster, the Pats have placed LB Matthew Judon (elbow) and OT Tyrone Wheatley (knee) on injured reserve.
Starting with the offense, the Patriots are shorthanded at receiver after ruling out wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Demario Douglas with concussions on Friday.
