  "account": "The New England Patriots have bolstered their roster ahead of their first preseason game by signing veteran running back Hassan Haskins on Wednesday. Myles Montgomery, an undrafted free agent, was subsequently waived with an injury designation and will now join the injured reserve list if no team claims him. Haskins, a former University of Michigan standout, was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Throughout his NFL career, Haskins has yet to establish himself as a consistent contributor, often serving as a depth option for various teams. While his addition may not significantly impact the top of the depth chart, it could influence the selection of players vying for limited roster spots. Haskins is expected to see limited action during Thursday's preseason opener against the Indianapolis Colts, but should have opportunities as the team prepares for the second preseason game.",
