Overview

  • New England processed the moves Tuesday morning, per reports from NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero and KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson.
  • Jacobs started 13 games in 2024 and played 79.3% of the team’s offensive snaps, then logged a team-high 139 preseason snaps this month.
  • The tackle room was reshaped by the No. 4 pick Will Campbell and veteran Morgan Moses, narrowing Jacobs’ path to a roster spot.
  • Jacobs was retained on a low-cost tender with no guaranteed money, limiting any financial impact of the waiver.
  • Miles Battle joined the practice squad in October 2024 and debuted in Week 18 with three passes defensed and two tackles; both players are now subject to the NFL waiver process before any practice-squad options.
