In an unexpected turn of events, undrafted rookie offensive lineman Bryan Hudson has secured a spot on the New England Patriots' practice squad. Hudson, who was recently waived by the Detroit Lions ahead of the roster deadline, is set to join the Patriots pending an official announcement.

According to Patriots reporter Doug Kyed, although no official transaction has been confirmed yet, Hudson has been assigned a locker in the New England locker room, indicating the likelihood of his signing. This news comes after none of the players waived by the Lions were claimed by other teams.

Hudson, along with Kingsley Eguakun and Duke Clemens, was one of the three interior offensive linemen signed by the Lions as undrafted free agents. Having played collegiately at Louisville, Hudson showcased his versatility during the preseason, demonstrating proficiency in both center and guard positions.

Although Hudson was not recruited by other teams, the Patriots saw potential in the young lineman and brought him into their practice squad. Being part of the practice squad will provide Hudson with an opportunity to refine his skills, learn from experienced players, and showcase his abilities to potentially earn a spot on the active roster in the future.

The Detroit Lions' decision to waive Hudson, while unexpected, has now opened a promising new chapter for the determined offensive lineman. As Hudson embarks on his journey with the New England Patriots' practice squad, his dedication and determination will prove vital in his pursuit of making his mark in the NFL.

Fans and football enthusiasts will be eagerly waiting to see how Hudson develops within the Patriots' organization and whether he can eventually carve out a place on the main roster.
