Patriots sign offensive tackle off Jets practice squad

Share

Phil Perry and Tom E. Curran react to Mac Jones’ performance against the Jets and explain why the QB’s play was his most ‘consistent’ of the season and ‘100%’ something the team can build on going forward.

The New England Patriots stole another one from the New York Jets on Tuesday.

Just two days after beating their division rival on a game-winning punt-return touchdown, the Patriots have signed offensive tackle Conor McDermott off the Jets practice squad. McDermott, originally selected by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, played one snap against New England on Sunday.

Curran: Are the Patriots 'good'? No, but at least they're interesting

The Patriots needed to address the offensive tackle position with Marcus Cannon on injured reserve and Isaiah Wynn sustaining a foot injury during the team's Week 11 win. They cleared room for McDermott on the roster by waiving running back J.J. Taylor on Monday.

McDermott could immediately earn snaps with the Patriots if Wynn is forced to miss the upcoming Thanksgiving Night showdown vs. the Minnesota Vikings. The 6-foot-8, 310-pounder has played in 39 career games with the Jets and Buffalo Bills.
