Patriots Add Jonathan Ward and Rushawn Baker to Practice Squad After Corbin Lands on Practice-Squad IR

The moves address thin backfield depth with only two runners on the 53-man roster.

Overview

  • New England signed running backs Jonathan Ward, 28, and Rushawn Baker, 22, to the practice squad on Tuesday following earlier free-agent workouts.
  • Running back Jashaun Corbin was placed on the practice-squad injured reserve to create space for the additions.
  • An open practice-squad slot also became available after outside linebacker Truman Jones joined the Titans’ 53-man roster.
  • Practice-squad back Terrell Jennings has used his three standard elevations, meaning a 53-man contract would be required for him to play again this season.
  • The 53-man roster currently includes only Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson at running back, underscoring the team’s short-term depth shuffle.
