Nine days after signing with Patriots, QB Matt Corral being released

The Matt Corral and New England Patriots marriage lasted only nine days.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the Patriots are releasing the backup quarterback, following news that Bailey Zappe was being re-signed to the 53-man roster.

In a sense, we went through the drama of Zappe being cut and stashed on the practice squad, just to have him re-signed to the same job he had in the first place.

Corral, a 2022 third-round draft pick for the Carolina Panthers, missed his rookie season with a foot injury (Lisfranc).
