John Jiles: Everything you need to know

Jiles signed a reserve/future contract with the Patriots on Tuesday. The West Florida product spent his 2025 campaign with the Patriots' practice squad and could have an opportunity to compete for a spot on the active roster in camp. Jiles has yet to appear in an NFL game after recording 1,081 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns on 54 catches during his final collegiate season in 2023.

Jiles was signed to the Patriots' practice squad Wednesday. Jiles was waived by the team Tuesday, ultimately going unclaimed before deciding to stick around as a member of New England's practice squad. The wide receiver spent the 2024 campaign with the Patriots' practice unit, but he failed to crack the active roster during the season. Jiles will look to impress at practice in order to potentially earn an elevation and make his NFL debut in 2025.

The Patriots waived Jiles on Tuesday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports. Undrafted out of West Florida last year, Jiles played 92 offensive snaps this preseason and caught nine of his 11 targets for 98 scoreless yards. He's a potential candidate to land back on the practice squad if he clears waivers.
