Patriots try out multiple new receivers in wake of A.J. Brown injury - Patriots Wire

The New England Patriots brought in wide receivers Isaiah Hodgins, Bryce Oliver and Tahj Washington, as well as quarterback Connor Bazelak for tryouts, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, as the team looks for competent players for its roster with A.J. Brown sidelined with a high-ankle sprain.

Hodgins began his NFL career playing for the Buffalo Bills from 2020-22 before gaining traction with the New York Giants from 2022-25. He played in seven games last season for the Giants and recorded 10 receptions for 115 receiving yards and one touchdown.

Oliver has previously spent time within the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns’ ranks. He registered eight receiving yards in 2025.

Washington has played in six games in his NFL career, all with the Miami Dolphins in 2025. He recorded three receptions for 37 yards last season.

Bazelak concluded his college career at Bowling Green and later joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ organization. He did not appear in an NFL game in 2025.

New England’s workouts provide depth options for the team to consider while Brown remains on injured reserve.
