Patriots elevate guard Michael Jordan, linebacker Keshawn Banks from practice squad for Week 13

The New England Patriots will have familiar faces on hand against the Indianapolis Colts.

The organization elevated guard Michael Jordan and linebacker Keshawn Banks from the practice squad on the eve of Sunday’s matchup at Gillette Stadium.

It marks the third and final standard call-up of the campaign for both under NFL rules.

Jordan, 26, re-signed to the practice squad on Friday after clearing waivers from the 53-man roster. The vested veteran has started 11 games at left guard this fall, staying in for 87.7 percent of the offensive snaps, which stands behind only ironman right guard Mike Onwenu. He twice served as an elevation from the practice squad in September after initially outlasting August’s cutdown. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound Jordan entered the league with the Cincinnati Bengals in the fourth round of the 2019 draft at No. 136 overall. Subsequent stints came with the Carolina Panthers and Green Bay Packers before the Ohio State product reached a futures contract in January. His career spans 66 games and 40 starts.

Banks, 24, tied for the New England lead with 93 percent of the workload on special teams last Sunday versus the Miami Dolphins. Now three call-ups in a row, he also reverted the week prior after debuting with 18 snaps in the kicking game against the Los Angeles Rams. Joining the practice squad in October following a September workout, Banks stepped into the NFL with the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2023. The 6-foot-3, 255-pound edge defender out of San Diego State spent his rookie regular season on the practice squad and was elevated for the NFC divisional round last January. He began the 2024 in the UFL ranks with the Michigan Panthers.

The Patriots ruled out interior lineman Cole Strange, who remains on the physically unable to perform list, and listed nine members of the active roster as questionable on the final injury report.

Sunday’s kickoff in Foxborough is set for 1 p.m. ET.
