The New England Patriots will cross the NFL’s 80-man roster deadline without a member of the 2020 draft class.
The organization announced tight end Dalton Keene has been waived, as ESPN’s Field Yates reported Sunday.
Keene, 23, had been sidelined for preseason matchups with the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers after spending his prior regular season on injured reserve due to knee surgery. The former third-round pick out of Virginia Tech appeared in six games as a rookie, catching three passes for 16 yards during a campaign that also included a stint on injured reserve.
