The New England Patriots, after losing their last six games, will take on the New York Jets for the second time this year on Sunday at Gillette Stadium.
On top of the usual 53 guys that the Patriots have on their roster each week, New England will have one extra player to choose from for this Week 8 battle, as they've elevated linebacker Ochaun Mathis from their practice squad.
Mathis, 25, was a sixth-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams in 2023 out of Nebraska. He appeared in eight games as a rookie, recording two tackles before Los Angeles released him during roster cuts.
