The Patriots have brought back a young defensive player.

Via Mike Reiss of ESPN, New England has signed defensive tackle Isaiah Iton to a one-year deal.

Iton entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Rutgers in 2024. He was on the Titans’ practice squad that year before he was waived in April 2025.

He then signed with the Patriots in May of last year and participated in the preseason before suffering a significant leg injury.

But now he’s healthy and ready to participate in Patriots’ training camp.

New England’s rookies report on Tuesday with veterans coming in on Friday.
