The Patriots waived defensive tackle Haggai Chisom Ndubuisi with the non-football illness designation on Thursday, per the wire.
Yes, that’s the same guy they signed on Wednesday.
Ndubuisi, 24, originally entered the NFL through the International Player Pathway Program, spending time with the Arizona Cardinals, Denver Broncos, Washington Commanders and the UFL’s San Antonio Brahmas over the last two seasons.
New England got an up-close-and-personal look at him this summer, as the Lagos, Nigeria native had one quarterback pressure during a preseason matchup down in Landover, Maryland.

The Patriots could look to reunite with the young interior defensive lineman at some point int he future.
