New England Patriots Sign Former Eagles Wide Receiver Jalen Reagor
The New England Patriots started their Thursday morning by adding wide receiver Jalen Reagor to their 53-man roster.
Reagor, who used to play for TCU and was a first-round pick, got to play for 25 snaps in the recent game against the Buffalo Bills. He did well, catching an 11-yard pass from Mac Jones.
The Patriots decided to put Reagor on the main roster after their head coach, Bill Belichick, spoke highly of him to the media.
Belichick said, “Been a really good scout-team player for us. We’ve played against a lot of top receivers and he’s gotten a lot of good opportunities — with some of the routes those guys run — to be featured a little bit. He’s earned some playing time, which has come from his practice performance. So he’s picking up the offense and we’ll see how it goes. But he’s a good talent, good guy to work with, glad we have him.”
The #Patriots are signing WR Jalen Reagor to the 53-man roster, source said. The former first-rounder has impressed behind the scenes in New England, earning praise from Bill Belichick. He played his most snaps of the season on Sunday.

Before coming to the Patriots, Reagor spent two seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. During his time there, he had 64 receptions, 695 yards, and three touchdowns.
In his short time with the Minnesota Vikings, he made eight receptions, gained 104 yards, and scored a touchdown.
We’ll see how Reagor does for the Patriots this Sunday when they play against the Miami Dolphins. Will he make a difference? Only time will tell.
