NFL Rumors: Jaguars cut two former Patriots as deadline nears

Two former New England Patriots players were reportedly among the final cuts by the Jacksonville Jaguars Tuesday afternoon.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that as Jacksonville pares its roster down to 53 players, wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II and offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor were let go by the team.

Dorsett, a former first-round pick of the Indianapolis Colts, spent three seasons with the Patriots after being acquired for quarterback Jacoby Brissett on the eve of the regular season in 2017. He caught 73 passes for 881 yards and eight touchdowns in New England before signing with the Seattle Seahawks as a free agent in 2020, though he never appeared in a game for the team due to a foot injury.
