The New England Patriots claimed former Cardinals cornerback Marco Wilson off waivers. Wilson, a fourth-round pick in 2021, joins the Patriots due to their need for depth at cornerback. The Patriots had top priority in the waiver claim, with the Broncos and Titans also showing interest. Wilson, who played 43 games and recorded 158 tackles and 3 interceptions at the University of Florida, is seen as a solid addition to the Patriots' roster.

Jackson on the reserve/non-football illness list. Newly-claimed Patriot Marco Wilson is confident in his ability to thrive under the Patriots' coaching staff's development of cornerbacks.
