The Patriots have signed Gibson to a one-year deal worth $825,000, ESPN's Field Yates reports. Gibson isn't a splashy addition to the Patriots' offense, but he'll bolster the team's wideout depth at an affordable rate. The 27-year-old is coming off a season in which he caught 29 passes for 295 yards and a TD in 14 games for the Dolphins.

Gibson was released by the Dolphins on Friday, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports. Gibson joins former teammate Brian Hartline, who was released by the Dolphins earlier in the day. With Mike Wallace's status with the team still in limbo, the only sure thing regarding Miami's receiving corps is that Jarvis Landry will have a significant role in 2015. Gibson played well as the Dolphins No. 3 wideout in 2013, before a torn patellar tendon ended his season early. He then struggled in 2014, producing just 5.8 yards per target on 51 looks. He may need to compete for a roster spot in training camp, depending on where he lands. The Dolphins are purging their roster of the players they unwisely overpaid in past seasons.

Gibson finished the 2014 season with 29 receptions for 295 yards and a touchdown. Gibson had 51 targets on the season but is not better than fourth or fifth on the progression list for quarterback Ryan Tannehill. He could be on the roster bubble once again going into next season.

Gibson had five receptions for 42 yards in Miami's loss to Denver on Sunday. Gibson caught five of six targets but most were for short gains and he was also lucky as he fumbled on two of those catches but the Dolphins were able to retain possession as the ball went out of bounds.

Gibson caught 2-of-3 targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 22-9 win over the Bills. The touchdown was Gibson's first of the year, and he has yet to see more than four targets in a game this season. He's merely competing with Rishard Matthews for whatever is left behind Mike Wallace, Jarvis Landry and Brian Hartline.

Gibson (hamstring) is not listed on the Dolphins' injury report for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, the ESPN.com reports. Having been overtaken on the Dolphins' wideout depth chart by Jarvis Landry, however, Gibson is a break or two away from fantasy reliability.

Gibson (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports. Gibson should be available Sunday against the Jaguars, though he's been overtaken on the Dolphins' wideout depth chart by Jarvis Landry, which limits his fantasy utility.

Gibson (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, the Miami Herald reports. In any case, Gibson's fantasy utility is limited these days, given that he has been overtaken on the Dolphins' wideout depth chart by Jarvis Landry.

Gibson (hamstring) returned to practice on Tuesday, according to the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero. Gibson has missed the past two weeks but looks close to being ready to return to the Dolphins.

Gibson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears. With emergence of fellow wideout Jarvis Landry, Gibson (seven catches for 65 yards in four games) -- who had been listed a probable by the Dolphins -- is only an option in the deepest of formats, in any case.
