The Patriots are making a shake-up on their linebacker depth chart, after struggling on defense and special teams in a loss to the Bills.

The New England Patriots are adding some depth to their linebackers corps following their Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

The Patriots also signed former Raiders linebacker Amari Gainer to their practice squad Wednesday. Linebackers Jack Gibbens, Jahlani Tavai and Marte Mapu fill out the Patriots’ depth on the 53-man roster, while Otis Reese is another option on the practice squad. The Patriots also have linebacker Darius Harris on practice squad injured reserve.

A former New England Patriots wide receiver may have gotten himself into trouble at home by making an overly candid admission. After four seasons in New England, Kendrick Bourne returned to the San Francisco 49ers for the 2025 campaign.

The Indianapolis Colts are allowing three defenders to have a chance to join the squad after holding workouts today.

The Patriots announced Monday that they waived outside linebacker Caleb Murphy. In a potential corresponding move, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported Monday that the Patriots plan to sign Chad Muma off the Colts’ practice squad.

The Patriots became the fourth team to clinch a division title, the Browns kept the Ravens alive and the 49ers moved closer toward a No. 1 seed
