The New England Patriots will have help off the edges and off the ball against the Los Angeles Rams.
The organization elevated linebackers Keshawn Banks and Joe Giles-Harris from the practice squad on the eve of Sunday’s matchup at Gillette Stadium.
Banks, 24, signed to the practice squad in Foxborough in October after visiting for a workout in September. The 6-foot-3, 255-pound edge defender out of San Diego State entered the NFL with the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2023. He cleared waivers following his rookie preseason and made his debut as a standard elevation for the NFC divisional round last January, seeing two snaps on defense and nine snaps on special teams.
