Morning sports update: Justin Rohrwasser wants to get ‘shameful’ tattoo removed

Patriots fullback James Develin announced his retirement on Monday, citing “unforeseen complications” relating to a neck injury he suffered in 2019 that ended his season.

In a statement released afterward, Bill Belichick said that while Develin was an “unsung” hero of the Patriots in terms of fan appreciation, the fullback was one of the “most appreciated and respected players we have ever had.”

Patriots kicker says he wants to have his tattoo removed: Following the Patriots’ decision to select Marshall kicker Justin Rohrwasser in the fifth round of the NFL draft, his choice of tattoos immediately became a point of controversy.
