Report: Pats host ex-Steelers DE for free-agent workout

The New England Patriots appear to be interested in bolstering their defensive line depth.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Chris Wormley was in town for a free-agent workout on Thursday, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss. The Patriots have one open roster spot.

Wormley, 29, was originally selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. The Michigan product spent the first three years of his NFL career in Baltimore before being traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers in March 2020.

The Steelers re-signed Wormley to a two-year contract in March 2021.
