Ricky Jean Francois has been on three teams since the 2017 league year began. He’s been released four times and re-signed twice over that span. He’s been through a trio of roster transactions in the past month alone.
But the 31-year-old defensive tackle didn’t look to be in foreign territory when he rejoined the New England Patriots this past week. By Sunday evening, four days after flying back to Boston, Jean Francois was in Pittsburgh to face the Steelers.
Jean Francois, who initially signed with the Patriots on Nov. 7 and was waived on Dec. 2 after three appearances, 40 snaps and two tackles, checked in at the 2:12 mark in the first quarter at Heinz Field.
