Three days after releasing him from their 53-man roster, the New England Patriots have now re-signed running back J.J. Taylor via their practice squad.
Taylor, 24, originally arrived in New England as a rookie free agent in 2020. The University of Arizona product has appeared in a total of 12 games since then, carrying the football 52 times for 156 yards and two touchdowns while also registering six catches for 20 yards.
In 2022 so far, he has appeared in only one game so far. Starting the season on the practice squad, Taylor was promoted to the 53-man roster earlier this month and played 17 snaps in the Patriots’ win over the Indianapolis Colts.
