STACKED’s take
Kiner gets elevated role with Henderson out; Vrabel praises him as 'good young runner.'
Corey Kiner, the Patriots' trade acquisition from the Arizona Cardinals, projects to play an elevated role in Week 1 with Treveyon Henderson ruled out due to ankle injury. Kiner, heading into his sophomore season, has had a winding path to the NFL: he was an undrafted free agent signing by the 49ers who suffered a high ankle sprain in his rookie preseason, was signed to the Minnesota Vikings practice squad without appearing in a game, and was picked up by the Cardinals off the Vikings' practice squad where he appeared in his first professional game. Despite carrying the ball only 12 times for 58 yards last year, Vrabel and the Patriots saw potential in him. Vrabel stated: 'He was a player that we had looked at trying to get last year coming out. He's a good young runner.'
