The New England Patriots hosted offensive tackle Tyrone Wheatley Jr. for a workout on Sunday, according to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz.
Wheatley, 25, went undrafted in 2020 after playing tight end at Michigan and Stony Brook. He converted to the offensive line while with the Blues of The Spring League, and spent the 2021 regular season on the Chicago Bears’ practice squad before signing with the Las Vegas Raiders in May.
Waived midway through August by Las Vegas, with whom his position coach was former Patriots assistant Carmen Bricillo, Wheatley had played in two preseason games and recovered a fumble.
