The New England Patriots have elevated four from the practice squad in advance of Saturday’s meeting with the Buffalo Bills, including Kristian Wilkerson.
The wide receiver will get the call for the wild card at Highmark Stadium alongside defensive tackle Daniel Ekuale and cornerbacks D’Angelo Ross and De’Vante Bausby.
Wilkerson, 25, made his first career start in Week 17 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It featured four receptions for 42 yards and two touchdowns for the Southeast Missouri State product, who has appeared in four games dating back to his arrival on the practice squad in 2020.
