The New England Patriots signed defensive tackle Casey Rogers to their active roster on August 3, 2026, after releasing linebacker Otis Reese. Rogers, who had a successful workout, is expected to add depth to the team’s defensive line. He was a college standout with a high Relative Athletic Score but has yet to make a significant impact in the NFL, having played only 35 defensive snaps in three games. While currently sharing a jersey number with undrafted rookie David Blay Jr., Rogers' addition does not affect the team's salary cap, as his contract includes no guarantees.
