New Orleans’ practice squad now includes:
Durant, 25, wound up going undrafted out of Missouri back in April of 2020. He later signed a rookie contract with the Chiefs and made the team as a rookie.
The Chiefs traded Durant to the Patriots coming out of the preseason in 2021 for a seventh-round pick. The Patriots waived him almost exactly a year later in 2022.
For his career, Durant has appeared in 19 games for the Chiefs and Patriots and made two starts.
