Josh Uche News
The New England Patriots are re-signing edge rusher Josh Uche to a one-year, $3 million deal that has $5 million available in incentives. The 2020 second-round pick has shown flashes of upside in his four-year NFL career, but he posted just three sacks in 2023 after an 11.5-sack season in 2022. He'll get at least one more season in New England to try to impress new head coach Jerod Mayo as the organization heads into a rebuild. If the 25-year-old can put it all together, this could be a great value signing for New England.
New England Patriots edge rusher Josh Uche must step up in a Week 5 matchup against the New Orleans Saints in the absence of Patriots sack leader Matt Judon. Judon will have surgery to address a biceps injury he suffered in Week 4. Uche has played well as the Patriots' pass rush specialist. He has rushed the passer on 70.3% of his snaps, and he has created pressure on 23.4% of his pass rushes, a high rate. But Judon has played 40 more passing downs than Uche and 52 more rushing downs. This matchup against the Saints presents a prime opportunity if Uche can take advantage of it, as the Saints' offensive line allows pressure and sacks at a higher rate than average.
The New England Patriots placed edge rusher Josh Uche (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. The 23-year-old will now miss at least the next three games. Uche had been playing a rotational role for the New England defense and had only missed one game this year. The second-year pass-rusher played 31.2% of the defensive snaps behind Matthew Judon and Kyle Van Noy and was mainly used as a situational pass-rusher on obvious passing downs. Uche has recorded three sacks, 10 tackles, four QB hits and a fumble recovery in 2021. In other injury news for New England, the team activated defensive lineman Chase Winovich (hamstring) from IR.
