Patriots elevate practice squad linebacker Ochaun Mathis for London game against Jaguars

The New England Patriots have elevated linebacker Ochaun Mathis from the practice squad for their upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.

Mathis, 25, has been brought up a second time this season. He previously was moved up for the Patriots’ loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 5, playing 11 combined snaps as a member of New England’s special teams operation.

A sixth-round draft pick out of Nebraska in the 2023 NFL Draft, Mathis appeared in eight games as a rookie with the Los Angeles Rams. However, the team decided to release him ahead of roster cutdowns in late August.
