— Kevin Duffy (@KevinRDuffy) March 1, 2019" rel="noopener" target="_blank">reporting that the Patriots have had conversations with WR Phillip Dorsett about a potential return.Dorsett was on the active roster for all 16 games for the Patriots in 2018, getting an up-and-down workload with Josh Gordon coming over from the Browns in the middle of the season. Dorsett caught 32 of 42 targets for 290 yards and three touchdowns.
The ex-Colts wideout didn’t see a single target in Super Bowl LIII against the Rams, but made an impact in the previous two playoff games. He caught four passes for 41 yards and a touchdown in the divisional round against the Chargers, and his lone catch in the AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs went for a 29-yard score.
As of Friday, Julian Edelman is the Patriots’ only lock for the 53-man roster at wide receiver. Dorsett’s return would provide depth and stability at a positional group that’s poised to see a lot of roster turnover in the coming months.
Chris Hogan’s market is looking solid. A lot of teams will be in the mix, per source.

It remains to be seen if the same happens for Dorsett.Click here for all Patriots/NFL updates from 985TheSportsHub.com.
