Devin McCourty

S / New England Patriots

McCourty recently underwent shoulder surgery and is currently in the rehab process, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

What it means

McCourty appeared in all 17 regular-season games for New England and played every single defensive snap in all but four of those contests. The veteran safety is believed to have suffered the shoulder injury that required surgery in Week 14 against the Cardinals, but he didn't miss a snap from Weeks 15-18. Per Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site, the 35-year-old hasn't made a decision on if he'll play next season.

Lynn Bowden Jr.

WR / New England Patriots

The Patriots signed Bowden to a reserve/future contract Monday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

What it means

Bowden, a 2020 third-round pick by the Raiders, spent the entire 2022 campaign on the Patriots' practice squad. He saw just one elevation (Week 9) but failed to garner a target across 14 offensive snaps. With his new contract, he'll be able to stick around New England's organization and compete for a roster spot during the offseason.
