Patriots Designated DT Joshua Farmer To Return From IR

This opens a three-week window for him to practice with the team before he has to be added to the active roster. 

Farmer, 23, was a two-year starter at Florida State and earned second-team All-ACC honors in 2023 and honorable mention All-ACC in 2024. 

The Patriots selected him with the No. 137 overall pick in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year, $4,826,927 rookie contract that included a signing bonus of $665,816. 

In 2025, Farmer appeared in 13 games and recorded 15 total tackles, one tackle for loss, one fumble recovery and one pass deflection.
