Raekwon McMillan’s stint on physically unable to perform is over before the first practice of New England Patriots training camp.
The 26-year-old inside linebacker passed his physical on Monday, clearing the way to the Gillette Stadium backfields, according to the NFL transaction wire.
McMillan spent his initial season with New England on injured reserve after sustaining a torn ACL last August. A one-year contract extension followed in September. He participated in the team’s spring workouts and will contend for a starting spot on a depth chart led by Ja’Whaun Bentley.
Selected by the Miami Dolphins in the second round of the 2017 draft, McMillan missed his rookie campaign due to a torn ACL.
