Tyquan Thornton is about to run on some much greener grass.

Thornton is signing with the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport. The 2022 second-round pick was released by the New England Patriots on Saturday.

It marked the end of Thornton’s tenure in Foxboro, Mass., as the speedy receiver was a healthy scratch four times this season. Thornton played 28 games during his three seasons with the Patriots. He concluded with 39 catches on 76 targets for 385 yards and two touchdowns.

New England selected Thornton two picks before Pittsburgh Steelers wideout George Pickens, who...

The Patriots lost to the Rams 28-22 in Week 11 dropping them to 3-8. Check out their complete schedule and results for the 2024 season. All times are Eastern Time.

The New England Patriots are 3-8 through Week 11 of the NFL Season. They are currently in last place in the AFC East. They lost to the Rams 28-22 last week.

A former Patriots defensive back reached the open market on the same day New England tweaked its cornerback depth chart.

Could the two reunite? Crazier things have happened.

The Houston Texans announced Monday they waived cornerback Myles Bryant and running back J.J. Taylor. Both Bryant and Taylor started their respective careers in Foxboro, Mass.

Bryant signed a one-year deal with the Texans last offseason after he spent his first four seasons in New England. Bryant played 55 games for Bill Belichick’s Patriots and caught on as an undrafted free agent given his versatility in the secondary.

Taylor played his first...

An up-to-date look at the Patriots roster.

The New England Patriots’ roster remains a work in progress, and is never really set in stone. The 2024 season so far is perfect proof of that, with several moves being made all over the board.

With that said, here is our up-to-date look at the Patriots roster, practice squad, and injury list.

Patriots 53-man roster

Quarterback (3): Drake Maye (10), Jacoby Brissett (7), Joe Milton III (19)

Running back (3): Rhamondre Stevenson (38), Antonio Gibson (4 | KR), JaMycal Hasty (39)

Wide receiver (6): Kayshon Boutte (9), DeMario Douglas (3), K.J....

A 53-man roster spot opened with the waiving of cornerback Marco Wilson.

A spot on the 53-man roster has changed hands for the New England Patriots.

After waiving cornerback Marco Wilson, the organization officially activated fellow cornerback Alex Austin on Monday afternoon.

Austin, 23, saw his 21-day practice window open before the calendar turned to November after missing all of last month while on injured reserve. Working back from an ankle injury, the NFL sophomore went from a limited participant to a full participant for consecutive weeks. Recently carrying a questionable game status, Wednesday loomed as the deadline for his...

The New England Patriots reportedly are making an adjustment to their cornerback depth chart.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday the Patriots waived cornerback Marco Wilson.

Wilson played a season-low 17% of defensive snaps during New England’s 28-22 loss to the Los Angeles Rams at Gillette Stadium on Sunday.

The 25-year-old played 40% of defensive snaps the week prior and played 30% or more in six of the 10 games he was active. He routinely served as the fourth cornerback behind Christian Gonzalez, Jonathan Jones and Marcus Jones.

Wilson allowed three catches on three targets for 58 yards against the Rams,...

Football teams tend to take on the identity of their head coach, and the New England Patriots are no exception.

The Patriots are an inconsistent football team led by an inconsistent football coach, according to NESN.com’s Sean McGuire.

“I think his identity right now is that he’s inconsistent,” McGuire said during NESN’s “Foxboro Rush” podcast following New England’s 28-22 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

“I think the Patriots, as a football team, they are very inconsistent. They can’t string games together.”

New England hasn’t won consecutive games all season, failing to do so at Gillette Stadium on Sunday one...

Matthew Stafford sees a bright future for the Patriots’ new franchise quarterback.

Stafford had a front-row seat to Drake Maye’s latest impressive showing Sunday. The 22-year-old completed 30 of his 40 pass attempts for 282 yards with two touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough to beat the Rams. Stafford’s 295 passing yards and four touchdowns guided Los Angeles to a 28-22 triumph in New England.

It was a pretty fascinating quarterback matchup, as Maye was seven years old when Stafford broke into the NFL as the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2009. The two-time Pro Bowl selection has seen it...

Jerod Mayo’s seat apparently is no hotter than it was entering Week 11.

The New England Patriots were plagued by questionable coaching decisions during their 28-22 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. The majority of those debatable calls were on defense with the defensive-minded Mayo and first-year defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington failing to make adjustments against Sean McVay’s staff.

Don’t expect the defeat to serve as the final blow for Mayo or others, however.

“At this point in the season, people around the league believe that this coaching staff is safe,” The Athletic’s Dianna Russini posted on X....

FOXBORO, Mass. — The Patriots showed interest in Puka Nacua before New England drafted seven players before the receiver was selected.

Oh, what could have been.

Nacua met with the Patriots at the Senior Bowl and at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine. At the time, the BYU product said those visits were “really good,” and expressed interest in playing in New England given the Utah native’s comfortability in the cold.

Nacua reflected on those conversations after he helped the Los Angeles Rams earn a 28-22 victory at Gillette Stadium on Sunday.

“I remember actually they were asking me about my...

Wilson appeared in 10 games this season.

The New England Patriots are set to waive cornerback Marco Wilson, as first reported by EPSN’s Adam Schefter.

Wilson had played 32 percent of the team’s defensive snaps this season, primarily serving as a depth cornerback along the outside.

Playing nine defensive snaps on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, Wilson struggled in coverage allowing two catches for 33 yards against Puka Nacua. Wilson was also in the area as a zone defender on a 25-yard completion to Nacua.

The move likely opens a roster spot for fellow cornerback Alex Austin, who’s 21-day...

Notes, musings, and observations from the New England Patriots’ 28-22 defeat to the Los Angeles Rams.

As Week 11 in the NFL draws to a close, we saw a few streaks broken. Buffalo beat Kansas City, which means New England’s record of 21 straight wins remains intact. The Steelers managed to win another game scoring only field goals. But at least the New England Patriots’ streak of not stringing together back-to-back wins since November of 2022 is alive and well.

1. Last week I wrote that of the four or five games I had the Patriots winning in 2024, they’d...
