Brock Lampe: Everything you need to know

Lampe (undisclosed) is participating during the Patriots' OTAs. Lampe spent the entire 2025 season on New England's injured reserve list, but he's apparently now in good enough shape to work with the team in at least a limited capacity. After the Patriots signed fullback Reggie Gilliam to a three-year contract during free agency, Lampe looks like a longshot to make the final 53-man roster for 2026.

The Patriots placed Lampe on injured reserve Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury. It's unclear what type of injury Lampe is working through, but by being placed on IR, he will be forced to miss the entire 2025 season unless he is waived by the Patriots with an injury settlement. The Northern Illinois product was signed by the Patriots as an undrafted free agent in early May.

Lampe signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent Friday. Lampe began his collegiate career as a linebacker before switching to fullback, spending all four years at Northern Illinois. He was considered one of the best fullbacks in all of college football last season, logging seven carries for 14 yards and one touchdown, along with nine receptions for 91 yards and a touchdown through the air. Now in New England, Lampe is expected to compete for a depth spot on the Patriots' active roster and potentially contribute on special teams throughout the summer.
