The stint on injured reserve is over for Layden Robinson.

The New England Patriots waived the 2024 draft choice from the season-ending list on Monday, the organization announced, giving him the opportunity to catch on elsewhere this fall.

Robinson, 24, reverted to injured reserve following the NFL’s 53-man roster deadline in August after going unclaimed. The sophomore guard had been waived with the injury designation on the heels of a preseason featuring 33 snaps on offense and 11 snaps on special teams.

Taken in the fourth round of last year’s class at pick No. 103 overall, Robinson appeared in 13 games during his rookie campaign. Between the left and right side of the interior line, the 6-foot-3, 311-pound Texas A&M product made 11 starts and handled 55 percent of the offensive workload.

With his exit, eight players now reside on injured reserve for head coach Mike Vrabel’s Patriots.

That IR group includes running backs Antonio Gibson, Lan Larison and Deneric Prince, fullback Brock Lampe, offensive tackle Yasir Durant, defensive tackles Jaquelin Roy and Isaiah Iton, as well as cornerback Marcellas Dial Jr.

The Tennessee Titans host next Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Nissan Stadium.
