Former Ohio State wide receiver Devin Smith's journey to get back on an NFL roster has taken him to New England.

The Patriots announced Wednesday that they have signed Smith to their practice squad.

Smith spent time on the Houston Texans' practice squad earlier this season, but did not play in any games and was released in November. 

A second-round pick in the 2015 NFL draft, Smith spent the 2019 season with the Dallas Cowboys but caught just five passes for 119 yards and one touchdown. He previously played for the New York Jets in 2015 and 2016, but he did not play in 2017 and 2018 after suffering multiple knee injuries during his time with the Jets.
