Patriots elevate practice squad linebacker Ochaun Mathis for second straight game

For a second straight week, the New England Patriots have decided to elevate linebacker Ochaun Mathis from their practice squad to their game day roster. Mathis was the lone player moved up for the Patriots’ upcoming contest against the New York Jets.

Mathis, 25, has now been brought up three times this season. He previously appeared in the Patriots’ losses to the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars in Weeks 5 and 7, playing a combined 22 snaps on special teams plus one more on the defensive side of the ball.
