Rationale

The Patriots prioritize gameday actives over developmental players.
They aim to bolster their running back and tight end depth.
The offensive line remains a concern, but the team may explore waivers or free agency to strengthen the unit.
The defense faces challenges due to Christian Barmore's injury, but players like Keion White and Armon Watts provide depth.
The cornerback room is crowded, but Alex Austin and Shaun Wade emerge as options to rotate in.
The safety position is solidified with the Dugger-Peppers tandem.
Undrafted rookie Dell Pettus makes the roster due to Marte Mapu's injury.
The practice squad features several promising players who could be elevated to the active roster if needed.
