Patriots work out running back Jamaal Williams ahead of Week 5
Summary

The New England Patriots held a workout for running back Jamaal Williams on Tuesday as they look to bolster their rushing attack. This follows the team's close 29-26 victory over the Buffalo Bills in Week 4, which improved their season standing after a frustrating loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Patriots are evaluating Williams, who recorded 32 touchdowns during his career, for a potential signing to help with their running back depth. Both Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson have struggled thus far, averaging just 3.7 yards per carry, necessitating a more effective ground game to support quarterback Drake Maye.
