Bower originally entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of LSU for Minnesota in 2017, where he remained through October 2019. Following his release from the Vikings, Bower has bounced off and on the practice squad for the Patriots, appearing in seven regular season games in 2020 before seeing time in two more this year.
The reported departure of Bower leaves New England with three openings on its 16-man practice squad.
