Patriots sign punter Matt Haack and O-lineman Jack Conley

The New England Patriots signed punter Matt Haack and offensive lineman Jack Conley ahead of their preseason finale against the Cleveland Browns on August 24, 2026. Haack, 32, brings experience from nine NFL teams, while Conley, 25, returns after stints with the Lions and Browns. These moves follow injuries sustained during a recent preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles, where offensive tackle Marcus Bryant suffered an ankle injury, and punter Bryce Baringer was limited in his duties. The Patriots' final preseason matchup is scheduled for Thursday at 8 p.m. ET in Cleveland, with the NFL roster cutdown date approaching on August 30.
