Jiles signed a reserve/future contract with the Patriots on Monday. Jiles, an undrafted rookie from West Florida, spent most of his first season with the Patriots' practice squad after being dropped by the Giants in late August. The 24-year-old has yet to appear in an NFL game, but he's expected to have the opportunity to compete for a spot on New England's active roster throughout the offseason.
The Patriots signed Jiles to their practice squad Wednesday. Jiles was dropped from the Patriots' practice squad just over a week ago, but it now appears the team has had a change of heart. The 24-year-old wideout went undrafted out of West Florida this past offseason after recording 54 receptions for 1,081 yards and 13 touchdowns during his final collegiate season.
Jiles was cut from the Patriots' practice squad Tuesday, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports. Jiles signed with New England's practice squad last Tuesday, but it appears he wasn't able to prove enough in his week with the team to keep his spot. He'll now have to find another opportunity.
Jiles signed with the Patriots' practice squad Tuesday. Jiles joined the Giants as an UDFA out of West Florida in May but was ultimately cut from the team in August. He'll now get another NFL opportunity in New England, where he'll work to earn his way to the 53-man roster.
The Giants waived Jiles on Sunday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. Jiles caught one pass on five targets for 21 yards in the Giants' preseason finale against the Jets on Saturday. Should he go unclaimed off waivers, Jiles will look to sign with a team in need of wide receiver depth.
