Former Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenjon Barner is expected to sign with the New England Patriots, according to a report from ESPN’s Mike Reiss. Reiss also notes that Barner recently worked out for the Pats.
The 28-year-old Barner was released during the Panthers’ final roster cuts earlier this month. Barner signed with Carolina back in May after the Eagles showed no interest in re-signing him.
The Eagles first re-signed Barner, who they originally traded for back in 2014, to their roster late last September after Darren Sproles suffered season ending injuries.
