The New England Patriots announced on Saturday that they had waived defensive backs Jalen Eliott and Devin Hafford. Then, on Sunday, they announced they had also waived tight end Dalton Keene. These roster cuts come just a few days before the Monday deadline to trim the roster to 80 active players, the second wave of roster cuts during the NFL preseason.
With 82 current players on their roster, the Patriots will need to make at least two more roster moves in order to cut the roster down to the 80-player maximum by the deadline.
