FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Patriots activated offensive tackle Marcus Bryant from injured reserve Tuesday, November 3, bringing him back to the 53-player roster after a preseason injury.
New England said Bryant had been placed on injured reserve August 30. Tuesday’s announcement restores him to the active roster; it does not name him a starter.
The team also released cornerback Kindle Vildor, who had appeared in five games for New England this season. The Patriots credited him with six tackles, one pass defensed, one forced fumble and one special-teams tackle.
Linebacker Elias Neal joined the practice squad after his October 27 release from the Los Angeles Rams’ practice squad. Neal entered the NFL with the Rams in 2024 and appeared in 10 games during his time with that organization, according to New England’s announcement.
Wide receiver Cameron Dorner and offensive lineman Jake Kubas were released from the Patriots’ practice squad.
