The New England Patriots have announced that tight end Thomas Odukoya has been placed on the practice squad injured reserve list.
Odukoya, 28, joined the Patriots’ practice squad on October 16, 2025. He started his NFL career in 2022 when he signed with the Tennessee Titans as a rookie free agent from Eastern Michigan University through the NFL’s International Pathway Program. Odukoya spent two seasons (2022 and 2023) on the Titans’ practice squad. At the start of the 2024 season, he was part of Tennessee’s active roster but later returned to their practice squad. During his time with Tennessee last season, Odukoya played in three games but did not record any statistics.
At the beginning of the current season, Odukoya was again with Tennessee’s practice squad before being promoted to their main roster on October 11. He was released by the Titans three days later and then signed by New England for their practice unit. Odukoya is originally from the Netherlands.
