The New England Patriots continue to make changes to the backend of their 90-man offseason roster. The latest transaction saw quarterback Nathan Rourke get waived.
A waiver wire pickup from the Jacksonville Jaguars last December, Rourke began his Patriots career as a third-string QB behind Bailey Zappe and Mac Jones. He remained in that role until the season finale, when he was put ahead of former first-round draft pick Jones to serve as the primary backup in a loss to the New York Jets.
Despite his upgrade in status for that game, Rourke leaves New England with zero in-game reps.
