The New England Patriots added safety Malik Gant to the 90-man roster on Tuesday, as reported by Mike Reiss of ESPN.
The signing marks a return for Gant, who originally arrived as an undrafted free agent out of Marshall in 2019 and visited Gillette Stadium for a workout last weekend.
The 24-year-old Gant spent his rookie NFL campaign on injured reserve after sustaining a leg injury during New England’s preseason finale versus the New York Giants. He had played 95 snaps on defense and 41 snaps on special teams through four exhibitions that summer.
