Schooler Set to Return for Patriots
7 Oct
Summary
- Jose Ramirez released by Patriots on Tuesday.
- Brenden Schooler eligible to return from injury.
- Two roster spots remain open for the Patriots.
The New England Patriots released outside linebacker Jose Ramirez on Tuesday, creating an opening on their 53-man roster. This decision comes as Pro Bowl special teams player Brenden Schooler is now eligible to return from injury, with two roster spots available ahead of the team's upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
In parallel moves, the Patriots signed rookie cornerback Al'Zillion Hamilton to the practice squad and released rookie offensive lineman Da'Metrius Weatherspoon. Ramirez, who joined the practice squad in early September and was elevated to the active roster later that month, had limited defensive and special teams snaps in Weeks 3 and 4.
Schooler, an All-Pro special teams player from 2024, had been on the reserve/non-football injury list with a back issue. His eligibility window opened recently, making him a likely candidate to fill one of the open roster spots before Sunday's game. Offensive tackle Marcus Bryant is also eligible to practice.
