Patriots reportedly host cornerbacks Christian Holmes, Jerry Jacobs for workouts
The New England Patriots tested the cornerback depths on Wednesday.
Free agents Christian Holmes and Jerry Jacobs visited Gillette Stadium for workouts, according to reports from KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson and MassLive’s Mark Daniels.
Holmes, 27, was selected by the Washington Commanders in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL draft at No. 240 overall. The 6-foot-1, 205-pound former transfer from Missouri to Oklahoma State has appeared in 30 games since then. His career features 20 tackles along with two starts, two fumble recoveries and one pass deflection. Last August, Holmes was waived by the New York Giants at the 53-man roster deadline after arriving as a preseason claim.
Jacobs, 27, entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie with the Detroit Lions in 2021. The 5-foot-11, 203-pound corner by way of Hutchinson Community College, Arkansas State and Arkansas now stands 40 games in. Making 29 starts, Jacobs totaled 131 tackles as well as one sack, four interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery while part of the NFC North. He signed with the Los Angeles Rams last training camp before being let go ahead of the league’s cutdown.
The cornerback depth chart in Foxborough currently includes 11 names. Starters Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis III and top nickel Marcus Jones reside alongside Alex Austin, Marcellas Dial Jr., Isaiah Bolden, Kobee Minor, Miles Battle, D.J. James, Brandon Crossley and Jordan Polk.
Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel's roster sits at 91 as a result of undrafted defensive lineman Wilfried Pene’s exemption through the NFL’s International Player Pathway.
