The New England Patriots are set to take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon at Levi's Stadium for their fourth game of the 2024 campaign.
On Saturday, Jerod Mayo's team announced four roster moves, as they placed cornerback Alex Austin on injured reserve, signed cornerback Isaiah Bolden from the practice squad and elevated defensive tackle Trysten Hill and tight end Mitchell Wilcox to the 53-man roster for Week 4.
Austin, 23, joined New England last season and made the roster out of campaign this year. Through three games, he's yet to record a single statistic, and now, he'll have to miss the next four games.
Bolden, 24, was a seventh-round pick of the Patriots in 2023 out of Florida State and Jackson State. He missed his entire rookie year after a neck/head injury in the preseason that saw him taken on the field in an immobilizer.
Hill, 26, joined the Patriots in 2023 after stints with the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals. He was elevated for the season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals and played seven defensive snaps.
Wilcox, 27, spent his first three seasons with the Bengals before signing with New England this offseason. He failed to make the initial roster out of camp but was signed to the practice squad. In his career, he's caught 29 passes for 211 yards and a touchdown.
