The New England Patriots added more depth to the offensive line pipeline in the announced signing of tackle Jalen McKenzie to the practice squad.
McKenzie, who went undrafted out of USC in 2022, has bounced around to the Tennessee Titans, Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders practice squads.
The Patriots appear to be getting healthier along the offensive line with Vederian Lowe returning to practice on Monday. However, he was still limited in his work load, and the team needed options at the injury-riddled position. Both Mike Onwenu and Caedan Wallace were banged up last week.
