The New England Patriots promoted veteran offensive lineman James Ferentz to the active roster on Tuesday, as first reported by Mike Reiss of ESPN.
Ferentz, 33, had signed to the practice squad at its formation last week after being released at the NFL’s 53-man deadline. The 2014 undrafted free agent out of Iowa made stops with the Houston Texans and Denver Broncos prior to arriving in Foxborough back in 2017. He has since appeared in 27 games for the organization, including the initial six starts of his career.
