The New England Patriots signed quarterback Malik Cunningham back to their practice squad Thursday while signing wide receiver Jalen Reagor from the practice squad onto the 53-man roster.
Cunningham, who joined New England as an undrafted free agent out of Louisville, was signed to a three-year deal before the Patriots’ game against the Las Vegas Raiders two weeks ago. But the team released him on Tuesday, and he cleared waivers.
Cunningham, 25, played six snaps against the Raiders, four at wide receiver and two at quarterback. He took one sack in the 21-17 loss. He was a healthy scratch for this past Sunday’s 29-25 win over the Buffalo Bills.
Reagor, 24, has appeared in the past two games for the Patriots, catching one pass for 11 yards against Buffalo.
Reagor was a first-round draft pick (No. 21 overall) in 2020 by the Philadelphia Eagles and spent two seasons as a starter for them. He appeared in all 17 games for the Minnesota Vikings in 2022 and has 73 career receptions for 810 yards and four touchdowns.
