Pats Pulpit
Two interior offensive linemen visited Gillette Stadium to begin the final week of the regular season.
The New England Patriots hosted free agents Doug Kramer Jr. and Thomas Perry for workouts on Tuesday, per the NFL transaction wire.
Kramer, 27, entered the league with the Chicago Bears in the sixth round of the 2022 draft. The 6-foot-2, 300-pound Illinois product has also been a member of the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks. In between arrived a second stint with the organization that filled out his card at pick No. 207 overall. He has handled 86 snaps on offense and 52 snaps on special teams in his 18-game career, working between center, guard and fullback.
Perry, 22, took part in rookie minicamp with the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers after going undrafted in 2025. The 6-foot-2, 316-pound former Middlebury guard earned first-team All-NESCAC honors in three consecutive seasons. Perry appeared in 34 career games, finishing with 30 consecutive starts. The Walter Camp Division III All-American saw reps at center at the 100th annual East-West Shrine Bowl, where he became his school’s first-ever attendee.
The Patriots currently carry an open spot on the practice squad following the promotion of defensive tackle Jeremiah Pharms Jr. to the 53-man roster. The 13-3 AFC East champions recently re-signed tight end Marshall Lang and released running back Jashaun Corbin from the group.
The Miami Dolphins visit Foxborough for the season finale on Sunday. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET.
