Just before Sunday’s matchup against the Chicago Bears, the Patriots announced they have elevated Linebacker Joe Giles-Harris and Tight End Mitchell Wilcox to the active roster.
Giles-Harris, 27, was a rookie free agent from Duke before signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2019. He spent two seasons rotating from the active roster and practice squad before being released. He signed with the Buffalo Bills in 2021, playing 18 games with 3 starts, having 20 total tackles and 1 sack. He signed with the Patriots in August 2023, spending the entire season on the practice squad before being released in August 2024 and signing back to the Patriots practice squad in September 2024.
