Patriots Sign RB With Mike Vrabel Ties Ahead of Preseason Opener vs Colts
The Patriots add veteran depth at running back, signing a familiar face from Mike Vrabel's Tennessee Titans days.
The New England Patriots have bolstered their running back corps ahead of their preseason opener against the Indianapolis Colts. Veteran Rhamondre Stevenson and rookie sensation TreVeyon Henderson have formed one of the NFL's premier running back duos, with Stevenson rushing for 603 yards and Henderson rushing for 911 yards. However, the depth of their backup corps is limited, with only Terrell Jennings, Lan Larison, and seventh-round rookie Jam Miller providing additional support.
Undrafted rookie free agent Myles Montgomery was initially targeted to address this concern, but he was waived after suffering an injury. In his place, the Patriots have signed veteran Hassan Haskins. Haskins, drafted in the fourth round by the Tennessee Titans in 2022, played two seasons in Los Angeles before the team waived him before the 2024 season.
Known for his extensive action as a rookie with the Titans under former Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel, Haskins brings valuable veteran depth to the Patriots' roster. Should he make the 53-man roster by the end of August, Haskins will provide a crucial boost to the Patriots' running game behind Stevenson and Henderson. New England's preseason schedule includes games against the Colts, Eagles, and Browns.
