The Patriots did not extend a restricted free-agent tender to Roy (undisclosed) by Wednesday's deadline, making him a free agent, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Roy missed the entire 2025 season due to an undisclosed injury but is now presumably healthy and ready to search for a new landing spot in the NFL. He logged six regular-season appearances (one start) with New England in 2024, totaling 17 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, in that span.

Patriots' Jaquelin Roy: Placed on IR
Rotowire
The Patriots placed Roy (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Roy dealt with a foot injury at the end of the 2024 season and was limited by the issue earlier in the offseason program. It's unclear if the new injury is related to that previous issue. Roy appeared in six regular-season contests for New England last season, making one start. He finished the campaign with 17 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks. Roy will spend 2025 on injured reserve unless he's cut with an injury settlement at a later date.

Patriots' Jaquelin Roy: Moves past foot issue
Rotowire
Roy (foot), who was limited in OTAs, has been practicing without limitations during training camp, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Roy was placed on injured reserve and ruled out for the season in December due to a foot injury, but the 2023 fifth-rounder has since moved past the issue. The LSU product is thus aiming to secure a rotational role on the Patriots' defensive line ahead of the upcoming campaign. In six games last season, he recorded 17 tackles, including three tackles for loss.

Patriots' Jaquelin Roy: Still nursing injury
Rotowire
Roy (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's voluntary OTAs, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Roy was placed on injured reserve in December of 2024 due to a foot injury, but it now appears he's nearly past the issue. The third-year pro appeared in just six games for the Patriots last season, logging 17 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across 135 defensive snaps. Once the LSU product returns to full health, he's expected to serve as one of the Patriots' top reserve defensive linemen in 2025.

Patriots' Jaquelin Roy: Lands on IR, done for season
Rotowire
The Patriots placed Roy (foot) on injured reserve Friday.
Roy last played Week 10 against Chicago, when he aggravated a neck injury and was forced him to exit the contest early. The second-year defensive tackle now appears to be dealing with a foot issue. Because a stint on IR requires a four-game absence, and the 3-10 Patriots have only four games remaining in the regular season while being already eliminated from playoff contention, Roy won't play again this season. He'll finish the 2024 campaign with 17 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, over six contests.

The 2023 fifth-round pick out of LSU missed the Vikings' final two games last season with an ankle injury, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue.
