With less than one hour to go, the New England Patriots have actually included more gamers to their cutdown list. After currently parting ways with 12 players earlier today, the team also waived undrafted novices Myles Bryant and DeJon Harris (via NESNs Doug Kyed) in addition to second-year guy DAngelo Ross. All 3 are now based on the waiver wire, while the Patriots roster stands at 62.
CB Myles Bryant
Bryant had a great training school for an undrafted novice with no on-field offseason to develop on– registering three interceptions over the course of the open training school practices. Offered the quality ahead of him on the depth chart, nevertheless, it is not a surprise to see the versatile 22-year-old get released. He should be a prime practice team candidate, but making it through the waiver wire projects to be a difficulty.
Bryant originally got here in New England coming off a four-year profession at the University of Washington– one that saw him grow from walk-on to a starting defensive back fairly quickly. After acting as a backup early throughout his career, he earned the beginning nickel back job in Year Two and ended up being a component in the Huskies protective backfield over the three seasons that followed, appearing in 39 video games and registered 4 interceptions.
LB DeJon Harris
Concerning New England as a novice complimentary representative previously this year, Harris signed up with the NFL coming off a solid stint at Arkansas. He appeared in a combined 48 video games for the Razorbacks– 36 of which as one of the teams starting inside linebackers. During those video games, he showed himself a reliable existence at the heart of the teams defense that led the SEC in regular season deals with in both 2018 and 2019.
Harris had a strong start to the full-pads portion of training camp, however he is the odd male out at linebacker. The other players surrounding him– JaWhaun Bentley, Anfernee Jennings and Josh Uche– are all locks to make the group and fill the move/inside functions, after all, which may have contributed to the Patriots decision to part ways with Harris. The group might try to get him back via the practice squad, though, to use depth behind a young off-the-ball linebacker corps.
CB DAngelo Ross
However, it appears as if his finest bet of remaining in New England comes via the practice team– if he clears waivers. Ross has actually shown some positive characteristics, so the Patriots might try to bring him back to provide another developmental player at the deepest position on the group.

Much like he did prior to the season-ending injury he suffered throughout his 2019 novice season, Ross again faced an uphill struggle this summertime to make the Patriots lineup due to the depth and skill ahead of him on the cornerback depth chart. The New Mexico item for that reason spent training school battling for a potential depth area at the position.
