The Patriots elevated an extra defensive lineman, Jeremiah Pharms Jr., from the practice squad on Saturday.
The move comes one day after Friday’s injury report, in which New England listed defensive tackles Davon Godchaux and Christian Barmore as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Neither were downgraded to out on Saturday like teammates Cole Strange and Jonathan Jones. But, in the event that either can’t play or is limited, Pharms will provide depth and insurance defensively.
Pharms was on New England’s practice squad for all of 2022. He signed back to the practice squad in 2023 after the Patriots cut him prior to the regular season.
