Corey Kiner, Ex-UC Bearcats RB From Roger Bacon HS, Traded to Patriots

The Patriots sent a 2028 seventh-round pick to Arizona for Kiner, who could fill a depth role after Terrell Jennings' season-ending injury.

  • On Saturday, the New England Patriots acquired running back Corey Kiner from the Arizona Cardinals, sending a 2028 seventh-round draft pick to Arizona to secure the player before Sunday's roster cutdown deadline.
  • Because the Patriots sit 31st in waiver priority order, the team traded a future pick to ensure they could land Kiner, whom the Cardinals were planning to waive regardless.
  • Across four preseason games, Kiner rushed 39 times for 180 yards, demonstrating the talent that earned him 12 carries for 58 yards in four regular-season games with Arizona last year.
  • Replacing injured running back Terrell Jennings, Kiner now projects as the Patriots' third option behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, ESPN's Mike Reiss noted.
  • Sunday at 6 p.m. ET marks the NFL roster deadline when teams must reduce squads to 53 players; despite the trade, the Patriots' running back room remained crowded after 15 cuts on Saturday.
