As the Patriots resume training camp practices today, we have word that the team worked out a veteran wide receiver, Eric Decker, earlier this week. That's according to an ESPN report.
Decker wasn't shy back in June when he came out publicly to state that he thought he was "a good fit" for New England. With WR Jordan Matthews seemingly having tweaked his right hamstring over the weekend, perhaps Decker's proclamation will prove accurate. New England is somewhat thin at the receiver position and is slated to lose Julian Edelman for the first month of the regular season due to an NFL suspension.
