Report: Broncos sign Patriots' 2021 third-rounder off practice squad originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
If Ronnie Perkins sees his first NFL action this season, it won't be with the New England Patriots.
The Denver Broncos are signing Perkins off the Patriots' practice squad, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Monday.
New England had high hopes for Perkins after selecting him with the No. 96 pick (third round) of the 2021 NFL Draft, one round ahead of fellow Oklahoma product Rhamondre Stevenson. The outside linebacker battled injuries in Foxboro, however, landing on injured reserve in both 2021 and 2022 without playing a regular-season snap.
