An active roster of 88 has since climbed to 89 for the New England Patriots.
The organization signed linebacker Diego Fagot on Monday evening, according to NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero.
Fagot, 25, had been among the reported free agents in Foxborough for workouts to begin the week. The 6-foot-3, 240-pound former Navy captain entered the league as an undrafted rookie with the Baltimore Ravens in 2022.
While in the middle of the Midshipmen defense, Fagot totaled 282 tackles, including 35.5 for loss, to go with 9.5 sacks. His tenure spanned 47 games and included two interceptions, two touchdowns, two fumble recoveries as well as five forced fumbles.
