The New England Patriots have placed quarterback Brian Hoyer and linebackers Josh Uche and Brandon King on the Covid-19 reserve list, as reported Tuesday evening by Mike Reiss of ESPN.
The three additions follow those of defensive starters Matt Judon and Ja’Whaun Bentley due to positive tests on Monday.
Hoyer, 36, has appeared in four games this season while completing 6-of-7 passes for 164 yards and one touchdown. In a quarterback room featuring rookie starter Mac Jones and 2019 fourth-round pick Jarrett Stidham, the 2009 undrafted free agent out of Michigan State stands in his third tour with the organization and is second on the depth chart.
