Do the struggling New England Patriots have something up their sleeve for their game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday?
On Saturday, the NFL team announced it had signed practice-squad member Malik Cunningham to the 53-player active roster, but the Patriots didn’t indicate what the former Alabama prep star would be called upon to do on Sunday.
Cunningham passed for 2,913 yards and 30 touchdowns and ran for 1,015 yards and 19 touchdowns as a senior at Park Crossing High School in Montgomery. During his college career at Louisville, Cunningham had 9,660 passing yards, 70 touchdown passes, 3,179 rushing yards and 50 rushing touchdowns.
