The New England Patriots have signed interior lineman James Ferentz to the 53-man roster in advance of Sunday’s Mile High matchup with the Denver Broncos.
Christmas Eve is on track to mark the first appearance of the regular season for the veteran promotion, who earned Super Bowl rings with both organizations after entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2014.
In additional transactions, New England has placed offensive tackle Conor McDermott on injured reserve and elevated tight end Matt Sokol and cornerback Breon Borders from the practice squad.
Ferentz, 34, was retained on the practice squad in August after being released at the league’s roster deadline.
