The New England Patriots quadrupled their amount of available tight ends Tuesday when they signed Dylan Cantrell and David Wells to their practice squad and claimed Jordan Thomas off waivers from the Arizona Cardinals.
The Patriots went into Monday night’s win over the Jets with Ryan Izzo as their only active tight end.
The Patriots actually claimed Thomas on Monday, but the move became official Tuesday. Cantrell and Wells were brought in for workouts Friday, went through COVID-19 testing and quarantining over the weekend then worked out and were signed Tuesday.
