Patriots Get Leonard Taylor III Boost Ahead of Super Bowl 2026

The Patriots elevated RB D’Ernest Johnson and DT Leonard Taylor III to the active roster. Taylor is a critical defensive piece, having blocked the game-tying field goal in the AFC Championship. Johnson provides veteran backfield depth and serves as a primary kickoff returner, averaging 26.5 yards per return this postseason. Leonard also ranked among the top interior linemen in pressure rate and pass-rush win rate.
