Westover’s versatility as a fullback and tight end gives him a clear edge for depth snaps if Henry is unavailable. He could factor in 12-personnel sets or be leveraged in goal-line packages, offering a path to meaningful preseason and potential regular-season reps behind Hooper.

Jack Westover has been elevated from the practice squad for the game against the Dolphins, providing the Patriots with additional depth at tight end.

Jack Westover has been elevated to the Patriots' 53-man roster after initially joining the team as an undrafted free agent from the Seattle Seahawks. A product of the University of Washington, Westover's significant playing time came in his final season, where he recorded 46 receptions for 433 yards and four touchdowns. He was released by the Seahawks just before the regular season and subsequently signed with New England's practice squad. While his role may not be substantial moving forward, he adds depth to the Patriots' tight end position.
