It hasn’t always been easy but after a strong training camp in which he caught the coaching staff’s attention, Wilkerson was signed to the practice squad at the end of the summer. All season long he has been working and patiently waiting to get his opportunity. Well that moment arrived this past weekend when he was told he was getting called…

In a matchup for first place in the AFC East on Monday night, the Patriots traveled back in time to defeat the Bills 14-10.

The Patriots are releasing Cam Newton in a surprising move. Newton, who signed as a free agent last summer and started 15 games in 2020, re-signed this off-season.
