Jeremiah Pharms Jr. is on track to play his first NFL snaps beyond the preseason at AT&T Stadium.
The New England Patriots have elevated the well-traveled defensive tackle from the practice squad in advance of Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, per the transaction wire.
Pharms, 26, went undrafted in 2019 following stops at Sacramento City College, San Joaquin Delta College and Friends University. He played for the Champions Indoor Football League’s Witchita Force and the USFL’s Pittsburgh Maulers before signing with New England leading up to training camp in 2022.
The 6-foot-3, 300-pound Pharms spent the duration of last campaign on the practice squad in Foxborough and reached a futures contract in January.
