The New England Patriots have reportedly added yet another receiver to their depleted group of wideouts. According to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, the Patriots have acquired wide receiver Keshawn Martin from the Houston Texans.

The terms of the trade have yet to be disclosed, but the Patriots have added another weapon on the outside. With Brandon LaFell injured and just four wide receivers on the active roster, New England was in need of another receiver.

Martin has caught 38 passes for 416 yards and three touchdowns in his three-year career with the Texans and has also worked on punt and kick returns. He was a fourth-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.
