Austin Seferian-Jenkins released by New England Patriots

Not two months into his New England Patriots career, tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins is once again a free agent.

The 26-year-old University of Washington product had yet to take part in any official team activities at the time of his release on Tuesday. He missed all of OTAs as he attended to undisclosed “personal issues,” and reportedly those same issues kept him from practicing at the first day of the Patriots’ mandatory minicamp.

The #Patriots are cutting TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins, source said. He’s taking a step away for a month for personal issues and the team will release him as he does that.
