The New England Patriots shuffled their wide receiver corps for a second straight day.
After Jalen Hurd retired Tuesday and the Patriots filled his roster spot with Thyrick Pitts, New England made another move Wednesday by reportedly releasing wideout Ed Lee, according to WPRI’s Sam Knox, who cited sources. The Patriots now have an open spot on their 90-man roster.
Lee was a long shot to make the Patriots out of training camp despite showing some occasional flashes during the practice sessions. The 24-year-old didn’t practice Wednesday after appearing to sustain an injury the day prior, per NESN.
