Patriots evaluate potential waiver wire additions to bolster roster depth

The New England Patriots hold the 31st position in the NFL waiver claim order following the league-wide roster reductions to 53 players. While the team currently maintains a full active roster, the organization continues to review options to address specific personnel needs. Targeted positions include kick returner, cornerback, and edge rusher to improve depth. Potential waiver targets include Charlie Jones, Kani Walker, Adisa Isaac, Sam Williams, Joshua Weru, and Uar Bernard. The roster remains fluid as the Patriots determine if these additions provide necessary upgrades to the current lineup. Teams had until 1 p.m. ET on Monday to submit claims for players with fewer than four accrued seasons.
