FOXBORO — In advance of Sunday’s 2022 season-opener, New England announced the standard elevations of wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey from their practice squad.
Despite being a surprise cut during the final roster adjustment period in late August, Humphrey returned to the Pats via the practice squad. The veteran free-agent performed at a high level in the preseason; having led all Pats receivers with 13 catches, 140 yards and a touchdown. Humphrey’s size and versatility may earn him multiple roster elevations, as a receiver or a potential ‘move’ tight end. At the very least, it should provide him with the chance to make an impact on the Patriots offensive against the Dolphins.
