After weeks of practice squad elevations, the Patriots are committing a spot on their 53-man roster for defensive lineman Jeremiah Pharms Jr.
Pharms earned three straight elevations in Oct. and registered a tackle against the New Orleans Saints. He was formerly drafted to the USFL, and has been on New England’s practice squad since Sept. 4.
The Patriots made one other roster move on Saturday, promoting Conor McDermott from the practice squad. This is his second straight game being elevated since signing with New England on Oct. 17.
McDermott spent the offseason with the Patriots, but was placed on injured reserve before being released altogether.
