Marcus Bryant Activated From Injured Reserve by Patriots

The New England Patriots activated rookie offensive tackle Marcus Bryant from injured reserve after he missed eight games with a preseason ankle injury. Selected in the seventh round of the 2025 draft out of SMU and Missouri, the 6-foot-7 swing tackle returned to full practice participation following his 21-day window. Bryant previously appeared in 12 games for New England during his 2025 campaign, boosting the team's depth upfront alongside starting tackles Will Campbell and Morgan Moses.
