The Patriots have reportedly found their help at running back.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Patriots are expected to sign former Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott to a one-year contract worth up to $6 million.
Elliott played the first seven seasons of his career with the Dallas Cowboys. The 28-year-old will likely serve as New England’s backup running back behind Rhamondre Stevenson on the depth chart.
Elliott confirmed the news on Twitter, announcing that he will wear No. 15 — his old collegiate number at Ohio State — in Foxborough.
