The New England Patriots' quarterback depth chart got a little longer Tuesday.
The Patriots activated Jarrett Stidham to the 53-man roster from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, per ESPN's Field Yates. Stidham needed to be activated by Wednesday or he would have reverted to the season-ending PUP list.
Stidham was selected by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He was the backup quarterback in 2019 behind Tom Brady and in 2020 behind Cam Newtom.
Stidham joins rookie and starter Mac Jones, as well as veteran Brian Hoyer on the team's QB depth chart.
