Patriots' Mitch Van Vooren: Signs with Pats
New England signed Van Vooren on Wednesday.
Van Vooren did not make the cut for the Browns' 53-man roster back in August of 2025, but he's now getting another chance to make an impression with a new club. He'll at least be able to give the team some practice reps at tight end after the Patriots placed Julian Hill (knee) on their injured reserve list back in June and placed CJ Dippre (undisclosed) on their active/PUP list to start training camp.

Patriots' Romeo Doubs: Set to combine with A.J. Brown
As the coming season approaches, Doubs is the Patriots' projected top inside receiver in a re-tooled WR corps now led by A.J. Brown, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
With last season's top wide receiver Stefon Diggs -- who led the team in targets (102), receptions (85) and receiving yards (1,013) -- no longer in the mix, Brown and Doubs now sit atop the Patriots' depth chart, thus boosting QB Drake Maye's supporting cast ahead of the 2026 campaign. With Green Bay in 2025, Doubs put up a 55/724/6 receiving line (on 85 targets) in 16 games, but in his new locale, the 26-year-old has an opportunity to see an uptick in production while profiling more like a high-volume "big" slot in New England's offense, per Lazar.

Patriots' CJ Dippre: Beginning camp on PUP
Dippre (undisclosed) will be on the active/PUP list to start training camp, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Dippre is working through an injury that he may have picked during the offseason. However, he can be activated from the PUP list at any time during training camp. Dippre signed with the Patriots in May of 2025 as an undrafted free agent and spent most of last season on the practice squad. The tight end appeared in two regular-season games, playing a total of 46 snaps (20 on offense, 26 on special teams) without seeing a target.

Patriots' Harold Landry: Opening camp on PUP
Landry (undisclosed) will begin training camp on the active/PUP list, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
The nature and severity of Landry's injury is unclear, but it's severe enough for the veteran pass rusher to miss out on practice time. Because he's on the PUP list, Landry would be eligible to return to practice and preseason games at any time during training camp. After spending the first six years of his NFL career with the Titans, the Boston College product finished the 2025 season with 49 tackles (27 solo), including 8.5 sacks, and one forced fumble across 15 regular-season games for the Patriots.

Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Opening up camp on NFI list
Jennings will open up training camp on the active/non-football injury list, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
While Jennings isn't ready to practice yet, he can be activated by the Patriots at any time once he is. When he returns to the field, Jennings is in line to compete with Lan Larison, Jam Miller and Myles Montgomery for slotting in New England's backfield behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.

Patriots' Isaiah Iton: Back with Patriots
Iton agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Patriots on Monday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Iton impressed with the Patriots during the 2025 preseason but then spent the entire regular season on IR due to a significant hip injury. Now back to full health, Iton will enter training camp with another chance to compete for a depth role with the team.

Patriots' Jam Miller: Competing for backup role
Miller is in line to compete for depth slotting in the Patriots backfield behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
While there is clarity at the top of the team's RB depth chart, the pecking order behind the top duo has yet to be established. Also in the mix for complementary backfield work are Terrell Jennings, Lan Larison and Myles Montgomery. Miller, who was taken by New England in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, was a core special-teamer early on in his college career at Alabama, which could help his chances of securing a role as a rookie. Per Lazar, the No. 3 job behind Stevenson and Henderson figures to go to "whoever offers the most juice as a returner and can fill in when needed in the offensive backfield."

Patriots' Kyle Williams: In mix for snaps behind top WR duo
Once training camp commences, Williams is slated to compete for snaps behind A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs in three-receiver sets, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
While it's clear that Brown and Doubs are atop the Patriots' WR depth chart, Kayshon Boutte also figures to see his share of work provided he remains with the team, with Williams, Mack Hollins and DeMario Douglas also in the mix for complementary work in a crowded positional group. For now, Williams -- who caught 10 of 21 targets for 209 yards and three touchdowns in 17 regular-season contests in 2025 -- doesn't have a clear path to volume in New England's offense, but the 2025 third-rounder, who's been working to improve his playing strength this offseason, does have the speed to help out as a downfield threat in 2026 when snaps are available.

Patriots' Lan Larison: Vying for RB3 spot in New England
Larison and Terrell Jennings are set to battle for the third spot on the Patriots' running back depth chart in training camp, Christopher Price of the Boston Globe reports.
Larison signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent out of UC Davis prior to the 2025 season but injured his foot during the preseason and spent the entire campaign on IR. Now that he's healthy, Larison will try to earn a roster spot in a depth role behind TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson. Jam Miller and Myles Montgomery are also vying for roles in New England's running back room.

Patriots' Drake Maye: Building chemistry with new top WR
Maye noted Thursday that things have been going well with him and A.J. Brown since the wideout's arriving in a June trade, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports. "It has been awesome," Maye said on that topic. "I'm really looking forward to playing with him. I'm looking forward to getting to camp and building some chemistry. And I know there's already some there for me. You just gotta throw it near him, and he'll make a play."
The Patriots parted ways with last year's top receiver, Stefon Diggs, in March but added Romeo Doubs via free agency prior to dealing for Brown, giving Maye a pair of new weapons atop the team's WR depth chart. As Patra notes, Brown is coming off a down season by his standards (78/1,003/7), but a fresh start while working with a talented young QB like Maye could help spur a bounce-back season on his part. Maye is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he threw for 4,394 yards with 31 TDs and eight picks in 17 games and ran for 450 yards and four rushing scores en route to finishing as the runner-up for last year's NFL MVP award. On the heels of that strong effort, Maye heads into the coming campaign as a highly sought-after fantasy asset at his position, and the addition of Brown - who profiles as a true WR1 -- should only help his cause in 2026.

Patriots' Hunter Henry: Remains top tight end
While Henry returns as the Patriots' top tight end, slotting behind him on the team's depth chart has yet to be solidified following Julian Hill's season-ending knee injury, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
As things stand, Eli Raridon, FB/TE Jack Westover, CJ Dippre and Tanner Arkin are in the mix for tight end targets that don't go Henry's way this season, though it's possible depth is added at the position in the coming weeks. Henry is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he turned in a 60-768-7 line on 87 targets in 17 regular-season games in 2025, and looking ahead to the coming campaign he's on track to maintain a steady weekly fantasy floor while working as a key weapon for QB Drake Maye in New England's passing game.

Patriots' A.J. Brown: May help create favorable matchups
Safety Kevin Byard suggested Tuesday on SiriusXM's The Players Point that the presence of a top-tier No. 1 wide receiver like Brown will shift the philosophy of how opponents want to play defense against the Patriots, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
Byard previously played with Brown in Tennessee and Philadelphia before the wideout got traded to New England this offseason, and he compared the effect on defenses to how he and the Bears previously prepared to face Justin Jefferson twice a year. "When I was in Chicago... for the most part, you need(ed) to point out where Jefferson was on every single play," Byard said, while adding that it will be "the same thing" for opposing defenders this season "with A.J." in terms of assessing where he lines up on any given play. Per Evan Lazar of the team's official site, Brown has gotten most of his practice reps so far at outside receiver, but it's possible that offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels will look to move Brown around the formation in order to create favorable matchups, providing quarterback Drake Maye with more opportunities to get the ball to his top read.
