New England Patriots fans could be getting their first look at practice squad wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson on Monday night against the New York Jets.
With just three healthy wide receivers on the Patriots’ 53-man roster, Wilkerson will be traveling to New York on Sunday, a source told NESN.com. If Wilkerson is elevated to the active roster, he would join fellow wide receivers Damiere Byrd, Jakobi Meyers and Damiere Byrd.
The Patriots got shallow at the receiver position when N’Keal Harry suffered a concussion and Julian Edelman was placed on injured reserve with a knee ailment after Week 8.
