The New England Patriots shuffled the deck at running back on Wednesday.
New England brought in four running backs for a workout: Hassan Haskins, JaMycal Hasty, Shane Watts, and Leshon Williams. Haskins and Hasty ended up earning contracts, with the former's signing being confirmed by the transaction wire and the latter's being reported by USA Today's Arye Pulli.
Haskins, 26, has experience with this coaching staff after being selected in the fourth round by the Tennessee Titans in 2022. Haskins was ultimately released following his placement on the commissioner's exempt list for a domestic dispute, though he landed on his feet and ultimately spent the last two seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Hasty, 29, previously spent parts of three seasons in New England. The Patriots originally claimed him off waivers in 2023, where he appeared in just a few games before becoming the primary kickoff return man in 2024.

Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson are the club's undoubted one-two punch, but there has been something of a struggle to find depth options behind them. Terrell Jennings, the incumbent, has seemingly kept the edge on first-year players Jam Miller and Lan Larison.
New England could very well only keep three running backs, as there is quite the battle brewing at wide receiver between Efton Chism III, Kyle Williams, and Cameron Dorner for roster spots behind AJ Brown, Romeo Doubs, Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas, and Kayshon Boutte. Haskins and Hasty could have value as veteran practice squad options, if that is the case.
The Patriots also waived/injured Myles Montgomery on Thursday.
