Patriots Sign Former Eagles, Texans WR Damaris Johnson

ESPN's Mike Reiss reports that the New England Patriots will be replacing rookie wide receiver Chris Harper with yet another Houston Texans cast-off in wide receiver Damaris Johnson.

Johnson spent two seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles and one season with the Houston Texans where he was ahead of current Patriots wide receiver Keshawn Martin in the depth chart. The 5'7, 170 lbs Johnson is a great option in the slot and he offers value as a returnman. The Patriots next two games are, coincidentally, against the Eagles and the Texans.
