In light of placing edge defender Oshane Ximines on injured reserve last week, the New England Patriots decided to look to the Chicago Bears to fill a suddenly-open spot on their roster. Defensive lineman Jamree Kromah, an undrafted rookie out of James Madison, was their target and promptly poached off the Bears’ practice squad.
With the Patriots playing the New York Jets just one day after bringing Kromah aboard, his first appearance with the team had to wait; he did not make the trip to East Rutherford and was instead made an unsurprising healthy scratch for the 24-3 loss.
