Lampe waived after season-ending injury; Gilliam signing blocked his roster path.

Waived by the Patriots after a season-ending injury in late July blocked his roster path. As the lone fullback on the roster initially, Lampe saw some reps with the first-team offense during his rookie offseason and early stages of 2025 training camp, appearing to be a possible roster candidate despite going unselected in the draft. However, the season-ending injury ended any such projections. When the team subsequently signed veteran Reggie Gilliam to a three-year contract in free agency, his road to the 53-man roster effectively became blocked. Beating out Gilliam in training camp was never a realistic option.
