Free agent wide receiver Reggie Wayne is taking a physical with the New England Patriots, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter. 

Wayne said in July he wants to play at least one more season. 

The Patriots are dealing with injuries to many of their wide receivers. Julian Edelman, Aaron Dobson and Brian Tyms have all missed a portion of training camp, while Brandon LaFell is still on the physically unable to perform list. 

Wayne, 36, would be competing with fellow veteran Brandon Gibson and others for a roster spot if he signed with New England.
