Using the spot on the active roster left open after Monday’s release of Kyle Eckel, the Patriots quickly pounced by agreeing to terms with wide receiver Maurice Price.

Bert Briones, who represents Price, confirmed that a deal was in place. Price was waived by the Kansas Chiefs last week, and worked out with the Pats earlier today.

Wide receiver Kelley Washington missed Sunday’s game with an ankle injury, so Price provides some depth. The 6-1, 200-pounder has also played on special teams as a gunner.

He had joined the Chiefs as a rookie free agent in 2007, but spent the entire season on injured reserve after suffering a broken clavicle in training camp. He attended Charleston Southern, establishing Big South Conference records for receptions (202) and receiving yards (2,429) while ranking second in conference history with 19 TDs.
