New England may be looking for their next starting fullback.

The New England Patriots are in need of another fullback now that James Develin and Jakob Johnson are on injured reserve. So, they brought in some potential candidates. 

According to Mike Reiss of ESPN, the Patriots worked out Orson Charles, Ricky Ortiz, and George Aston on Thursday. 

The Patriots had TE/FB Orson Charles, FB Ricky Ortiz and RB/FB George Aston in for free-agent workouts. The team is always updating emergency lists.
