The New England Patriots put two players on the COVID 19/reserve list on Monday. Cornerback Myles Bryant and practice squad offensive lineman William Sherman were the two additions.
Bryant tallied an interception in Sunday’s win against the Jaguars. He has seen time at the slot corner role for the Patriots this season, with an uptick in playing time following a season-ending injury to cornerback Jonathan Jones. Bryant has recorded 41 tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble in addition to the interception.
Sherman was drafted in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He has seen time on the practice squad for New England this season. He played collegiately for Colorado.

With the lack of depth at the corner position, Bryant could play a big role, if healthy, against Miami on Sunday. With Bryant and Sherman being put on the list early in the week, he could be ready in time for Sunday’s action.
