NFL cutdown day is in the books, but the New England Patriots are far from done building their team for the upcoming 2025 season. After finalizing an initial 53-man roster on Tuesday, the team will look to add potential waiver wire claims and build a 16-player practice squad.

Until 12 p.m. ET on Wednesday, teams can put in waiver claims to add players with less than four accrued seasons to their active rosters. An hour later, at 1 p.m. ET, an initial 16-player practice squad can be built out of internal and external cuts.
