Wilson will move from left guard to center in the upcoming 2026 season, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports. Wilson started 13 games at left guard as a rookie third-round pick. Now, he'll move to center after the Patriots traded Garrett Bradbury to the Bears this offseason, meaning Wilson will snap the ball to high-school teammate Drake Maye in 2026.

Patriots Injury Report
Wilson will move from left guard to center in the upcoming 2026 season, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports. Wilson started 13 games at left guard as a rookie third-round pick. Now, he'll move to center after the Patriots traded Garrett Bradbury to the Bears this offseason, meaning Wilson will snap the ball to high-school teammate Drake Maye in 2026.
Hutchins (undisclosed) suffered an injury during Saturday's practice session at rookie minicamp, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports. Hutchins, a 2026 seventh-round pick, is competing to carve out a reserve role in New England's edge rushing corps. He will have plenty of time to heal up in advance of June minicamp activities, though the details and severity of his injury remain undisclosed. A five-year contributor at Boston College, Hutchins wrapped up his senior year in 2025 with 35 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across 10 appearances.
Arkin signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent Friday. Arkin's best college season was his fifth year at Illinois, when he caught 13 passes for 114 yards and two touchdowns across 13 games. He'll have a difficult time securing a spot on the 53-man roster, as the Patriots currently are carrying five tight ends, including Hunter Henry, Julian Hill and rookie third-round pick Eli Raridon.
With regard to the right shoulder issue he managed ahead of Super Bowl LX, Maye noted Wednesday that he's doing "great," ESPN.com reports. Mike Reiss of ESPN previously reported that Maye said he received a pain-killing injection for his throwing shoulder before his team's loss to the Seahawks in the Super Bowl, a game in which the QB completed 27 of 43 passing attempts for 295 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Since then, Maye indicates that he's had "no problems at all" on that front while confirming that he didn't require an offseason procedure. As the coming campaign approaches, the Patriots return a number of the key skill players that Maye worked with in 2025, with free-agent addition Romeo Doubs representing a notable addition to a wide receiver corps that no longer includes Stefon Diggs. Additionally, there's plenty of speculation that A.J. Brown could be headed to New England (via a trade with Philadelphia) on or after June 1, and if that ends up being the case, Maye's 2026 fantasy prospects would be boosted by the addition of a true WR1.
The Patriots reportedly gave Dixon -- who is set to join the team as an undrafted free agent -- $252,500 in guaranteed money, per Chad Graff of The Athletic. That figure suggests the 6-foot-4, 220 pounder out of Culver-Stockton could push for a roster spot this summer, but Dixon will have plenty of competition to that end in New England's crowded WR corps, which could still add A.J. Brown via a trade. Graff suggests that Dixon could be developed into a backup for Mack Hollins (6-foot-4, 221 pounds), and if the rookie isn't included on the team's initial 53-man roster ahead of the 2026 season, a spot on New England's practice squad could await.
Vera-Tucker (triceps) is expected to take part in the Patriots' upcoming OTAs, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports. New England's OTAs are scheduled to begin in late May, and Vera-Tucker looks like he'll be ready to participate. The offensive guard missed all of last season due to a torn triceps and has played in only 43 regular-season contests (out of a possible 85) across his five NFL campaigns. Vera-Tucker signed a three-year contract with New England in early March and is "highly motivated" to prove himself following his injury struggles, per Daniels.
The Patriots have exercised Gonzalez's fifth-year contract option, Mark Daniels of masslive.com reports. As a result of the expected move, Gonzalez -- who was a Pro Bowler last season -- is in line to earn $18.1 million in 2027. Beyond that, it's still plausible that the 2023 third-rounder could land a lucrative extension from the Patriots down the road. Gonzalez is coming of a 2025 regular season in which he recorded a career-high 69 tackles and 10 defensed passes in 14 games, while working as a starting cornerback opposite Carlton Davis.
Westover signed his exclusive-rights free-agent tender with the Patriots on Tuesday. It was merely a formality for the 26-year-old lead blocker. Westover has touched the ball one time in 20 career regular-season games and has logged 246 offensive snaps in that span.
