Report: Patriots bringing RB Kenjon Barner back into fold
Running back Kenjon Barner RB Kenjon Barner has a locker in the @Patriots locker room again so expect a transaction to come
During his one-year run with the Eagles, Barner had 27 punt returns for a total of 240 yards (8.9 yards per return). Barner also came through with three kick returns for 73 yards in the Eagles’ Super Bowl LII win over the Patriots.
In a four-year NFL career spent between the Panthers and Eagles, Barner has returned 30 punts for 259 yards.
If indeed signed back to the roster, this will be Barner’s second tenure with the Patriots in the last month alone, as the team signed him on Sept. 11 but released him on Sept. 19 in order to sign Cyrus Jones.
Barner’s expected return comes two days after running back Rex Burkhead departed New England’s Week 3 loss to the Detroit Lions with an apparent neck injury.
