Report: Patriots re-signing recently released running back

The Patriots are adding a familiar face to their running back room

The New England Patriots are reportedly bringing back a familiar face to their running back room. Per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Deshaun Fenwick is re-signing with the Patriots after being waived in early August.

Fenwick is an undrafted rookie from Oregon State looking for an opportunity to stick on a roster at the next level. He’ll be facing an uphill battle in New England with Rhamondre Stevenson, Antonio Gibson and Kevin Harris currently positioned as New England’s top-three running back options.

However, he could impress the team enough in training camp and preseason games to earn a practice squad opportunity, if he fails to outright win a roster spot.

The Patriots are lacking in depth at the running back position, especially if this ends up being another injury-plagued year for Stevenson.

This could be their way of building a pipeline of young talent that would be ready to go if they needed to use the emergency glass option.

Patriots officially announce four roster moves on Friday

It was a busy day for the Patriots

It was a busy Friday for the New England Patriots, who announced several roster moves following training camp practice.

The team revealed the signing of offensive tackle Kellen Diesch and former UFL standout safety A.J. Thomas. In corresponding moves, they also announced the releases of running back Deshaun Fenwick and offensive tackle Tyrone Wheatley Jr.

Diesch has typically served as a practice squad player for the Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers. He also had brief stints with the Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns.

Thomas appeared in six games for the Chicago Bears and mustered only four total tackles. However, he had a stellar run with the Birmingham Stallions in the UFL in 2024, when he led the league with three interceptions.

He finished his UFL run with 23 total tackles and an All-UFL nod.

The Patriots are clearly looking to boost the depth and competition in a safety group that features Jabrill Peppers, Kyle Dugger and Marte Mapu at the top of the depth chart. Thomas is an intriguing addition who could push veteran Jaylinn Hawkins for reps.

2024 NFL mock draft: Quarterbacks, wide receivers dominate first five picks

Mock draft season is in full swing, and with Top 30 visits starting to increase, we’re looking at an updated first round mock for all 32 NFL teams.

The 2024 salary cap is set at $255.4 million.

The Ravens will look drastically different on both sides of the football field after undergoing massive changes in player personnel and the coaching staff.

Eric DeCosta started the off-season with urgency, signing Justin Madubuike, one of the league’s best defensive linemen, to an extension. After inking Madubuike to a deal, Baltimore landed Derrick Henry for two years and $16 million.

However, the Ravens suffered significant free-agent losses. Patrick Queen (Steelers), Geno Stone (Bengals), and Gus Edwards (Chargers) were among eight free agents to sign elsewhere. Baltimore also traded Morgan Moses to the Jets and released Tyus Bowser in a cost-cutting move.

With the second wave of free agency set to begin, we’re reviewing an updated first-round mock draft.
