The Patriots are reportedly adding to the team’s depth at wide receiver with just days to go before the regular season kicks off.
According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the Patriots are signing receiver Laquon Treadwell to the team’s practice squad.
Treadwell, 27, was originally a first-round pick by the Vikings (23rd overall) in 2016. He failed to emerge in Minnesota, however, catching just 65 passes in four seasons.
After spending the 2020 season with the Falcons, Treadwell recorded one of his most prolific professional seasons as a member of the Jaguars in 2021.
