Patriots Sign Receivers Coleman & Fowler
Tuesday, September 11, 2018
The New England Patriots have signed wide receivers Corey Coleman and Bennie Fowler, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.
The signings come after the Patriots played their season opener with just four wide receivers on the roster, including Riley McCarron, who was promoted from the practice squad.
New England has since waived McCarron after he fumbled a punt return late in the game that resulted in a Houston touchdown.
