New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel admitted to concerns about his team's depth following their preseason finale.
The Patriots relied heavily on backups throughout the preseason, hoping to build depth and uncover hidden contributors. After the run game struggled, Vrabel and his front office looked outside the building for running back depth.
On August 29, the Patriots traded for Arizona Cardinals second-year running back Corey Kiner. With roster cutdowns complete, Kiner is one of three remaining running backs on New England's active roster.
Although Kiner's NFL experience is limited, the film shows promise as a physical back who can help keep the Patriots on schedule in 2026.
The Patriots are acquiring RB Corey Kiner in exchange for a ‘28 7th round pick, per AdamSchefter.
