Here’s Each Patriots Player Who Was Cut Before Roster Deadline

The Patriots delivered bad news to 36 players over the last few days.

New England began last weekend with 89 players on its roster. By late Tuesday afternoon, that number was trimmed to 53, with the Patriots officially revealing the initial roster they’ll carry into September.

Some players were cut; others were traded. Two were kept on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, and two landed on injured reserve, which ends their respective seasons. A few likely will land back on the practice squad. Some might even be re-signed if the Patriots move anyone else to injured reserve before the season opener.
