Mike Reiss reports that the Patriots worked a group of players Monday including WR River Cracraft, WR Kenny Lawler, DB Robert Nelson, WR Nelson Spruce and DE
Nelson, 27, originally signed on with the Browns as an undrafted free agent out of Arizona State back in May of 2014. He lasted just over a year in Cleveland before he was waived at the start of the 2015 season and later signed to the Cardinals’ practice squad.
The Texans signed Nelson to a future/reserve contract but he was among their final roster cuts coming out of the preseason.
