Patriots Host Four For Workouts Prior To 53-Man Roster Cutdown

The New England Patriots will soon cut their roster down to 53 players, but that’s not stopping them from keeping an updated list of available free agents.

New England hosted wide receiver Dazz Newsome, safety Bubba Bolden, offensive lineman Derek Kerstetter and offensive lineman Tyrone Wheatley Jr. for workouts on Sunday, according to ESPN analyst Mike Reiss.

The group is headlined by second-year pro Newsome, who spent his rookie season on the Chicago Bears’ practice squad before being waived on Aug. 23. The former sixth-round pick played in three games for Chicago in 2021, serving as a punt returner in addition to his duties at wide receiver.
