"Although New England doesn't necessarily need help with their receiving corps, it did sign veteran Trent Sherfield Sr. to the practice squad on Tuesday to add some much-needed depth in case of an emergency. He might not be a big name or someone most Patriots fans have even heard of, but he is known for his solid run blocking and special-teams skills, traits Mike Vrabel loves for his roster."
"Because of Sherfield's familiarity with the team, he would have been an easy signing to boost their depth, even if he wouldn't be used much on game day. But that's off the table now, and they'll have to look elsewhere if they want to add any more receivers to their roster before Saturday's game. Considering it's the end of the season, there aren't many"
New England added veteran wide receiver Trent Sherfield Sr. to its practice squad to provide emergency depth and bolster special teams and run-blocking. Several Patriots starters are dealing with injuries, prompting roster moves before the divisional-round game against the Texans. Sherfield's strengths are run blocking and special-teams play, traits valued by coach Mike Vrabel. The signing also prevented the Buffalo Bills, who lost Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers to torn ACLs, from easily re-signing Sherfield due to his 2023 familiarity with Buffalo. With few viable free-agent receivers available late in the season, Buffalo must seek alternatives.
