    Un día después de que los Green Bay Packers cortaran el ala cerrada por su falla en divulgar una condición médica, los Patriots lo reclamaron de la lista de exención (waivers), dijo una fuente informada de la situación a Ian Rapoport de NFL Network.


    Bennett, de 30 años, regresa al equipo donde ganó un título de Super Bowl la temporada pasada. Si él podrá jugar pronto aún está por verse.

    Una lesión en el hombro lo mantuvo fuera del juego del lunes entre Packers y Lions, y Green Bay lo había descartado para su juego del domingo contra los Bears antes de cortarlo.

    Bennett tuvo 701 yardas recibiendo y siete touchdowns con los Patriots en la campaña 2016.

    Con solo 233 yardas y sin touchdowns en 24 recepciones en siete juegos con los Packers, Bennett insinuó abiertamente en Instagram el mes pasado que estaba considerando seriamente retirarse al final de la temporada.

    Queda por ver qué papel exacto prevé el entrenador Bill Belichick para Bennett una vez que esté lo suficientemente sano como para adaptarse a su ex equipo.
