Ben Watson‘s absence from New England didn’t last long.
Watson, the veteran tight end who was released by the Patriots last week, is planning to re-sign with the Patriots this week, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
The Patriots ran a very limited offense on Thursday after injuries to tight end Matt LaCosse and fullback Jakob Johnson, and they may see Watson as a player who can pick up the slack.
The 38-year-old Watson hasn’t played yet this season after serving a suspension for the first four games. He should be ready to get up to speed quickly, however, after spending training camp and the preseason with the Patriots.
