After not elevating any players from the practice squad last week, the Patriots are adding one practice squad player to the active roster this week for their home-opener against the Ravens. On Saturday, Patriots elevate LB Harvey Langi to the active roster from the practice squad: https://t.co/2CMQtrE9HG
This is the second elevation of the season for Langi. He was also added to the roster for the season opener against Miami, and played one special teams snap in that game. The team can elevate him one more time this season.
Last season, Langi appeared in seven games for the Patriots. He recorded three tackles while playing mostly on special teams.
In addition to filling a special teams role, Langi will add some depth for the Patriots at linebacker. Raekwon McMillan, who was limited in last week’s game, is questionable for Sunday with a thumb injury. McMillan didn’t practice on Friday.
As for the Ravens, We have elevated WR Raleigh Webb and LB Brandon Copeland from the practice squad.
All elevated practice squad players return to the practice squad the day after the game. Teams can elevate up to two players each week, with each player on the practice squad being limited to three elevations during the season.
