The New England Patriots will sign Steven Jackson to a one-year deal.

Jackson, 32, met with the Patriots on Wednesday and worked out with the team the following day.

Jackson was released by the Atlanta Falcons in February.

The Patriots have placed LeGarrette Blount and Dion Lewis on season-ending injured reserve.

Christine Michael has returned to the Seattle Seahawks, signing with the team on Wednesday.

Michael was traded to the Dallas Cowboys in August and carried 15 times for 51 yards before he was released.

Michael has a chance to contribute with Thomas Rawls out for the season.

"He's been with us for a long time, so he does have a lot of background," Pete Carroll said. "That doesn't mean he's going to be the featured guy or starter or anything like that. He's just coming in here and trying to help us out, and we'll see how that works out. But it is good to be able to pull somebody in that has that kind of background."

Ryan Mallett has agreed to sign with the Baltimore Ravens.

Mallett was released earlier this season by the Houston Texans after he missed the team's flight for a road game.

Joe Flacco is out for the season.

Mike Daniels has signed a four-year, $42 million extension with the Green Bay Packers.

The deal includes a $12 million signing bonus.

Daniels was a fourth round pick and has been one of the NFL's best defensive ends in 2015. Daniels is playing the run better than any 3-4 defensive end in the NFL, with only J.J. Watt coming close.

The deal was likely paved by Corey Liuget's five-year, $51.25 million summer extension with the Chargers, though Daniels has outplayed Liuget significantly this season.

Washington has signed Pierre Thomas.

Thomas spent one week with the San Francisco 49ers earlier this season. Thomas has been one of the NFL's better pass catching running backs.

Matt Jones and Alfred Morris are in a positional share for Washington.

Michael Crabtree and the Oakland Raiders have agreed upon a four-year, $35 million extension with $19 million in guaranteed money.

Crabtree signed a one-year deal with the Raiders in the offseason after he found a soft market.

Crabtree has had a resurgent season building chemistry with Derek Carr.

Terrelle Pryor will sign with the Cleveland Browns.

Pryor spent all summer with the Browns but received just 17 snaps during the preseason.

When he was waived by the Browns in early September, Pryor told The Plain Dealer: "This will be a mistake by them."

Pryor was signed as receiver but he could potentially double as an emergency quarterback.
