"Patriots transactions:🏈 Activated to 53-man roster: OT WillCampbell, DT Milton Williams🏈 Released from 53-man roster: DT Jeremiah Pharms Jr.🏈 Elevated from practice-squad for Sunday: C/G Brenden Jaimes, DT Leonard Taylor III- Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) January 3, 2026 After clinching the AFC East division title last week following Buffalo's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, this Dolphins game is no longer a must-win for Mike Vrabel's crew."
"New England does, however, still have an outside chance at clinching the No. 1 seed, which comes with a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Patriots need a win over the Dolphins, and a Broncos loss to the Chargers to claim the top spot, a scenario that now feels slim with the Chargers preparing to rest QB Justin Herbert and other starters against Denver."
The Patriots activated rookie left tackle Will Campbell and defensive lineman Milton Williams off injured reserve and elevated Brenden Jaimes and Leonard Taylor III from the practice squad. The team released DT Jeremiah Pharms Jr. The activations make Campbell and Williams available for the Week 18 home game against the Miami Dolphins. New England already clinched the AFC East and cannot fall lower than the No. 3 seed. The Patriots retain an outside shot at the No. 1 seed but would need a win and a Broncos loss. A win would secure the No. 2 seed. The matchup features Miami in cold weather against a Patriots team weighing rest versus rust and facing rookie QB Quinn Ewers.
