Phillip Dorsett is back in Las Vegas.

The former Patriots wideout signed with the Raiders practice squad on Friday. Five-time Pro Bowler Amari Cooper’s sudden retirement set off a chain reaction, where practice squad wideout Justin Shorter to the 53-man roster, opening a spot up for Dorsett with the practice group.

The 32-year-old Dorsett had spent the summer with the Raiders before being released ahead of cutdown day. Back in Vegas, he’ll will reunite with minority owner and former teammate Tom Brady.

Dorsett won Super Bowl LIII alongside Brady — catching two touchdown passes in that playoff run — and spent three years in Foxborough. With the Patriots, Dorsett caught 77 passes for 881 yards and eight touchdowns in regular season play. He was acquired by Bill Belichick in a 2017 trade with the Colts for Jacoby Brissett.

Since leaving Foxborough in 2020, Dorsett has bounced around the league. The veteran has suited up for the Jaguars, Seahawks, Texans, and Broncos, and he’s also had stints with the Raiders and Falcons.
