Patriots Sign Jamree Kromah Off The Bears Practice Squad

Patriots Sign Former Bears Defensive Tackle Jamree Kromah

Kromah Bolsters Patriots' Defensive Line Depth

The New England Patriots have signed defensive tackle Jamree Kromah off the Chicago Bears practice squad, the team announced Tuesday. Kromah, 25, was a fourth-round pick by the Buffalo Bills in 2019 and has also spent time with the San Francisco 49ers and Bears.

The 6-foot-3, 305-pound Kromah has appeared in 21 career games, recording 12 tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble. He is expected to provide depth to the Patriots' defensive line, which has been hit by injuries this season.

Patriots' Defensive Line Injuries

The Patriots have been without starting defensive tackle Christian Barmore for the past two games due to a knee injury. Barmore is expected to miss at least one more game.

Other Patriots defensive tackles who have missed time this season due to injury include Davon Godchaux (ankle) and Lawrence Guy (shoulder). Godchaux is expected to return to practice this week, while Guy is on injured reserve.

Kromah's Role with the Patriots

Kromah is expected to compete for playing time behind Barmore, Godchaux, and Guy. He could also see time on special teams.

The Patriots have been one of the NFL's top defenses this season, ranking first in scoring defense and second in total defense. The addition of Kromah should help the Patriots maintain their defensive dominance.

Kromah's Stats and Career Highlights

• Kromah has appeared in 21 career games, recording 12 tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble.
• He was a fourth-round pick by the Buffalo Bills in 2019.
• He has also spent time with the San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears.

Kromah's signing is a low-risk, high-reward move for the Patriots. He is a young player with potential who could develop into a valuable contributor. The Patriots have a history of finding success with undrafted players and late-round picks, so Kromah could be the next in a long line of success stories.
