That is database-first. Just make a backup of your models in case the previous developer added code into the autogenerated classes

Go to the Powershell console.
Open VS and navigate to Tools/Package Manager Console
Then run Enable-Migrations (if you got an error, your developer already did this)
if the enable-migrations cmdlet works or fail you should create a new migration (from old DB to new)
add-migration UpdatedCoumnXXXX
you should review the code proposed and if you accept it just run
Update-database
and that's it.
This is if you added the column programmatically if you did it on the DB follow the previous suggestion from @Shaun Vermaak
