Seven free agents stopped by Gillette Stadium to begin the first week of the regular season.

The New England Patriots worked out wide receivers Andrew Armstrong and Jakobie Keeney-James as well as defensive backs Tyron Herring, Doneiko Slaughter, Major Williams, Trey Dean and Malik Dixon-Williams on Tuesday, according to the NFL transaction wire.

Armstrong, 24, signed with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent in May. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound rookie wideout was waived at the league’s 53-man roster deadline to end August. After beginning his collegiate career at Texas A&M-Commerce, Armstrong went on to amass 134 catches for 1,904 yards and six touchdowns across a pair of campaigns at Arkansas.
