The start of training camp is only a couple of days away, and the New England Patriots are still trying to fill spots on their roster.
They reportedly had three players in the building for a workout on Monday, including defensive tackle Bruce Hector, linebacker Diego Fagot and wide receiver Jalen Hurd.
Hector, who was drafted this year by the XFL’s Arlington Renegades, hasn’t played a meaningful NFL snap since he was with the Detroit Lions in 2021. Fagot hasn’t played a snap in the league, period, after being signed and waived last year by the Baltimore Ravens.
Meanwhile, Hurd, a former third-round draft pick for the San Francisco 49ers, has yet to get on the field due to injuries.

The Patriots are slated to start training camp on Wednesday.
They could use help at defensive tackle if veteran Lawrence Guy Sr. continues to hold out, and the receiver position is pretty much a revolving door at this point. An addition to the running back position also isn’t out of the question.
If anything, this is proof that roster building never really ends, even with the regular season right around the corner.
