The New England Patriots have made the signing of veteran running back Ezekiel Elliott official. As the team announced on Wednesday morning, the 28-year-old is now a part of its roster.
Whether or not that means he will be an active participant in the team’s upcoming joint practices with the Green Bay Packers remains to be seen, but Elliott did make the trip with his new teammates after signing his reported one-year pact.
A former first-round draft pick by the Dallas Cowboys, Elliott is one of the most productive running backs of his generation.
