A March arrival has departed from Foxborough in August.
The New England Patriots have released Marcus Epps at the roster deadline, with the veteran safety seeking a different fit, as first reported by NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero.
Epps, 29, played a team-high 114 defensive snaps in the preseason and was on the field deep into the finale versus the New York Giants. Coming off a torn ACL that ended his 2024 last September, he signed a one-year deal in free agency.
The 6-foot, 191-pound Epps has checked into 82 games, including 45 starts, since being selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL draft.
