FOXBORO — With the start of 2022 training camp just days away, the New England Patriots have already begun the process of trimming their roster.
New England confirmed on Friday that they have released defensive lineman Byron Cowart, after three seasons.
UPDATE: The Indianapolis Colts on Saturday were awarded Cowart off waivers.
The 26-year-old joined the Patriots as a fifth-round (159 overall) selection in the 2019 NFL Draft. Despite logging 462 defensive snaps in his first two seasons with the team, Cowart has yet to build an extensive resume. From 2019-2020, he played in 19 games, compiling 15 tackles, three quarterback hits, 29 tackles (three, for-loss) and one sack.
