The Patriots announced five cuts Friday, including receiver Devin Lucien. New England also parted ways with defensive lineman Frank Herron, cornerback Ryan Lewis, running back Khalfani Muhammad and receiver Paul Turner.
The Patriots made Lucien a seventh-round pick in 2016. He spent his rookie season on the practice squad and went to training camp with New England in 2017.
Lucien, 25, also had stints on the Indianapolis, Kansas City, Houston and Tampa Bay practice squads. He has not played in an NFL game.
Herron, 24, was signed by New England as a rookie free agent out of Louisiana State on May 11.
