Healthy heading into training camp Langi (knee) has been participating in offseason workouts after ending the 2021 campaign on injured reserve, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact Langi appeared in seven games for the Patriots last season, playing mostly on special teams, before a knee injury landed him on injured reserve in October. He eventually returned to practice but was never activated to the 53-man roster. Now healthy, he'll look to carve out a role in New England's linebacking corps, which lost Dont'a Hightower, Jamie Collins and Kyle Van Noy this offseason.

The 29-year-old linebacker has been sidelined since Week 7 after spraining his MCL, but he was designated to return at the beginning of December.

Impact Langi got more run in 2020 than he ever had previously, logging 513 defensive snaps after combining for 108 between 2017 and 2019. The result was a career-high 60 tackles, but the Patriots welcomed back Dont'a Hightower from a COVID opt-out and also signed Kyle Van Noy and Matthew Judon as free agents this offseason, pushing Langi down the depth chart. However, after getting released Tuesday, Langi is back in New England to provide another body to the linebacker corps.
