"Truman Jones, an undrafted pass rusher in 2023, was signed by the Patriots earlier this year after spending some time with the Chiefs until signing with the Patriots' practice squad last season. He put together a great offseason, but it wasn't enough to make this year's roster. However, he will finally make his 2025 season debut on Sunday, and he has a big supporter in Mike Vrabel."
"I'm not supposed to have favorites, but I would say that Truman's close to the list if I had one. He's an extremely hard worker. I would say that every time we have a show player of the week on the [defense] or special teams, I would say that he's probably been one of those two, if not both, throughout the year."
The Patriots aim to continue a winning streak against the Saints in Week 6 despite defensive depth losses. Truman Jones, an undrafted 2023 pass rusher who spent time with the Chiefs before joining New England's practice squad, will make his 2025 season debut after a strong offseason performance that initially fell short of a roster spot. Jones will help fill the void left by Anfernee Jennings and Keion White. Patriots pass rushers, including Harold Landry, have underperformed recently, creating an opportunity for Jones to impact pressure rates. Coach Mike Vrabel praised Jones' work ethic and preparedness to play.
