Patriots Add Veteran RB Craig Reynolds to Practice Squad, Release Rushawn Baker

New England bolsters backfield depth after injuries to stabilize late-season options.

Overview

  • The team announced the practice-squad signing of former Lions running back Craig Reynolds on Friday.
  • Detroit waived Reynolds earlier in the week as part of a series of roster moves before he cleared waivers.
  • New England released practice-squad running back Rushawn Baker in a corresponding transaction.
  • Reynolds, 29, has appeared in 60 NFL games with 658 rushing yards, 258 receiving yards and one touchdown, with most of his 2025 snaps coming on special teams.
  • He is expected to serve as depth behind TreVeyon Henderson, Rhamondre Stevenson and Terrell Jennings rather than seeing immediate game action.
