Patriots sign former 49ers, Chiefs RB

At 12-3, the New England Patriots are in a very good spot heading into the 2026 NFL playoffs. They hold first place in the AFC East with a one-game lead over the Buffalo Bills, have a second-year quarterback in heavy consideration for an MVP award, and get to finish out the regular season against the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins, who have a combined 9-21 record.

And on Tuesday, December 23, the Patriots added another potential weapon to their already impressive offense, signing ex-49ers running back Elijah Mitchell to their practice squad after being released by the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this season, according to The 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov.

“The #Patriots have signed former 49ers RB Elijah Mitchell to their practice squad,” Meirov wrote. “He was recently released by the Chiefs.”

This is a developing story.
