The New England Patriots hosted free agent linebacker Blake Lynch for a workout on Tuesday, per Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson and Pro Football Focus’ Doug Kyed.
Lynch most recently played for the Minnesota Vikings. He appeared in four games as an undrafted rookie in 2020. He made more of an impact last year, appearing in 16 games with six starts and had a good year statistically, recording 35 tackles, two sacks, one interception, one pass breakup and one forced fumble.
The Patriots need depth at the linebacker position, as the team continues to struggle with defending against the run.
