It didn’t take the New England Patriots long to make a move after placing former receiver Jalen Hurd on the reserve/retirement list on Tuesday.
In a corresponding move, the Patriots announced they had claimed former Chicago Bears wideout Thyrick Pitts on waivers.
Pitts, a former collegiate standout at the University of Delaware, signed with the Bears as an undrafted rookie free agent back in May. He was released by the team on Monday and fell to the Patriots on waivers.
Standing at 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, Pitts clearly has physical gifts that could benefit him on the field.
