NFL Rumors: Texans Release Former Patriots Starter; Reunion Possible?

As the New England Patriots cut down their roster to the league-mandated 53 players by 4 p.m. ET Tuesday, there’s a new name on the open market for the team to consider.

“More line changes in Houston: Texans are releasing veteran offensive lineman Trent Brown,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Tuesday on X.

The Patriots’ offensive line remains a work in progress, so it’s possible Brown could be brought back to Foxboro, Mass. to help protect second-year quarterback Drake Maye.

New England acquired Brown from the San Francisco 49ers in April of 2018.
