An August visitor to Gillette Stadium has returned in December.
The New England Patriots signed cornerback Tae Hayes to the practice squad on Tuesday, according to the NFL transaction wire.
Hayes, 25, took an interception back 50 yards for a touchdown during the preseason meeting with the Carolina Panthers. He proceeded to spend the fall between the organization’s practice squad and active roster before being released last week.
Entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2019, Hayes has also been a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals.
