The tight end was reportedly claimed on waivers by the Patriots on Thursday, a day after the Green Bay Packers cut him loose.

Bennett was great with the Patriots in 2016, where he caught a career-high seven touchdowns and won the Super Bowl. He was released under somewhat controversial circumstances by the Packers, and even in spite of his injury status, it was probably a no-brainer for the Patriots to bring him back given how little success they’ve had at the tight end position behind Rob Gronkowski.
