Matthew Judon signs with 49ers practice squad after Patriots stint

Summary

Matthew Judon, a former New England Patriots defensive end, has signed with the San Francisco 49ers' practice squad as of September 29, 2026. Judon previously signed a four-year, $54.5 million contract with the Patriots, where he recorded 32 sacks in 38 games. His transition to the 49ers comes after stints with the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills in 2025. With the potential for elevation from the practice squad, Judon aims to regain form under defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, his former coach in Atlanta. The Patriots continue to struggle defensively, currently holding a 1-2 record this season, with concerns about their pass rush.
