The New England Patriots on Wednesday announced the signing of free agent running back Trayveon Williams.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Williams, 27, primarily a special teams player in Cincinnati, has rushed for 307 yards in 68 career games (zero starts) since the Bengals selected him in the sixth round of the 2019 draft. He also has 15 catches for 74 yards.
In a corresponding move, the Patriots released defensive tackle Eric Johnson II, who was claimed off waivers from the Indianapolis Colts last August.
Johnson, 26, recorded 17 tackles in 11 games (zero starts) for the Pats last season.
