Pats add depth at running back

The New England Patriots have signed former Bengals running back Rex Burkhead, the team announced Tuesday. Terms were not disclosed. He could be eyed to fill Brandon Bolden’s role in New England as a reserve running back and special teamer. (ESPN)

Nerdy Football Analysis: Or, he could help ease the loss of LeGarrette Blount as he tests the free agent market.
