James on Tuesday, a source confirmed to MassLive\u2019s Mark Daniels.<\/p>\n<p id=\"XUJ6UVBW55DUBFF7Y525JJAZOY\">NFL Network\u2019s Tom Pelissero was first to report the news.<\/p>\n<p id=\"UFELRK2LUBH3HBUIZM3HL66OJM\">James was one of New England\u2019s stars during training camp. The cornerback took first-team reps this summer when the Patriots were forced to dig into their cornerback depth due to injuries.<\/p>\n<p id=\"UEGN4LKSBNEENONQI7UBGOYRS4\">A 2024 sixth-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks, James signed with the Patriots practice squad last year. He didn\u2019t appear in any games in 2024, but made his New England debut in its Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The 24-year-old played two defensive snaps and five special teams snaps and had one tackle.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7BRGMFHCOFD47OCSS7QWKXXU7U\">Cornerbacks Carlton Davis and Alex Austin played every defensive snap for the Patriots last week, while Marcus Jones also saw action.<\/p>\n<p id=\"KDESS5IHGBAMVGNFA4BPWG2EOI\">It\u2019s unclear if the move signifies an imminent return for Christian Gonzalez \u2014 who\u2019s been dealing with a hamstring injury suffered in training camp that kept him out of the preseason and Week 1 \u2014 or if the Patriots could elevate Corey Ballentine from their practice squad.<\/p>\n<section data-gaid=\":Rdoaq6:\">\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>NFL hands out punishment to Jalen Carter for \u2018Spitgate\u2019<\/li>\n<li>Short on OL depth, Patriots rival signs recently cut Cole Strange<\/li>\n<li>Former XFL star who had strong training camp for Patriots signs with NFC team<\/li>\n<li>Safety surprisingly cut by Patriots signs with AFC team (report)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
