News: The Patriots elevated defensive Malcolm Williams back to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday. Williams, a seventh-round pick last year, has shuffled back and forth between New England and the practice squad since breaking into the NFL.

News: The Patriots announced Saturday that they have waived wide receiver Deion Branch and defensive back Malcolm Williams, in order to make room for the addition of defensive back Aqib Talib and wide receiver Greg Salas to the active roster.

News: The Patriots spent their last two draft picks on Central Arkansas DE Markell Carter and TCU CB Malcolm Williams.
