BREAKING: New England Patriots Reportedly Signing Recent First-Round Wide Receiver To Help Mac Jones

The New England Patriots are giving Mac Jones some help. The open spot on the New England Patriots’ 53-man roster has reportedly been filled.

New England Patriots sign receiver Jalen Reagor to the roster, taking the spot vacated by talented rookie Malik Cunningham. The team promoted the fourth-year wide receiver to the 53-man roster from the practice squad, according to a report from NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.

The #Patriots are signing WR Jalen Reagor to the 53-man roster, source said. The former first-rounder has impressed behind the scenes in New England, earning praise from Bill Belichick. He played his most snaps of the season on Sunday.

Reagor played 39 offensive snaps over the Patriots’ last two games, including a season-high 25 in last Sunday’s shocking victory over the Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium.

He registered his first catch as a Patriot in that game, which was his lone target from quarterback Mac Jones for 11 yards. Reagor also dressed but did not play in New England’s Week 2 loss to Miami.
