Source: Ex-Patriot Kenbrell Thompkins Claimed Off Waivers By Raiders
Thompkins won’t return to the Patriots — at least not immediately. The second-year pro was claimed off waivers by the Oakland Raiders on Monday, a source told NESN.com. The news was first reported by NFL Media’s Albert Breer.
The Raiders held the second-highest waiver priority in the NFL.
Thompkins has six receptions for 53 yards this season in two games and one start. He started eight games for the Patriots as a rookie last season and recorded 32 catches for 466 yards with four touchdowns in 12 games.
Thompkins’ most notable catch as a Patriot came on a game-winner in the team’s comeback victory over the New Orleans Saints last season. He started the first seven games of the 2013 season for the Patriots.
