Patriots Add Titus Leo to 53-man Roster

The New England Patriots have signed linebacker Titus Leo from the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad to their 53-man roster, following several defensive roster changes. Leo, a promising but untested player, was a sixth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and has yet to record regular season statistics. His addition comes as the Patriots placed linebacker Curtis Jacobs on injured reserve and released Ochaun Mathis. The Patriots are seeking to enhance their defensive lineup under head coach Jerod Mayo, who has seen some recent improvement in the team's performance despite ongoing offensive struggles. Meanwhile, the Colts filled the vacancy left by Leo's departure by signing defensive end Derek Rivers back to their practice squad. This series of moves reflects both teams' efforts to bolster their depth and adapt to ongoing roster challenges.
