Patriots re-sign Demaryius Thomas after placing first-rounder N'Keal Harry on IR

Demaryius Thomas didn’t spend much time away from the New England Patriots.

Less than 48 hours after the Pats cut the veteran wideout, Thomas re-signed with the team on a one-year deal after they placed rookie first-rounder N’Keal Harry on the injured reserve, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.

Harry was already at risk of missing Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers because of an ankle injury he suffered in preseason, but this is quite a blow for the promising wideout’s development.

Harry’s rookie season will get a delayed start

The Patriots have shied away from selecting skill position players in the first round of the draft, often doing the practical thing and trading down or selecting defensive player.
