Veterans Alex Erickson, Monty Rice revert to Patriots’ practice squad following Week 16

Wide receiver Alex Erickson and linebacker Monty Rice reverted to the New England Patriots’ practice squad on Monday after serving as standard elevations at Highmark Stadium.

The 24-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills marked the 2024 debuts for both veterans.

Erickson, 32, played seven snaps on special teams in Orchard Park. He stood back deep for kickoffs and fielded three punts, including a pair of fair catches, in the absence of injured incumbent Marcus Jones. Now 108 games into his run, Erickson signed to the practice squad last week.
