Although out for 2023, Raekwon McMillan will be returning to the New England Patriots for 2024.
The organization reached agreement with the veteran linebacker on a one-year contract extension worth up to $2.245 million, according to a report Monday from Field Yates of ESPN.
McMillan, 27, was placed on injured reserve in May after sustaining a partially torn Achilles in practice and does not count against the 90-man roster limit.
The former Ohio State captain and national champion had re-signed as an unrestricted free agent in March. He did so having appeared in 16 games for New England last campaign, starting the opener.
