The Arizona Cardinals have claimed New England Patriots offensive lineman Hayden Howerton off of waivers, the team announced.
The move comes after the lineman was released by the Patriots this past Friday.
Howerton had spent the season on New England’s practice squad before signing a futures contract with the team in January.
The 6-foot-3, 300-pound lineman originally entered the league with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted rookie free agent out of SMU in 2022. He spent last training camp with the Titans before being released.
Monti Ossenfort and Howerton likely crossed paths in Tennessee, with the new Cardinals GM serving as director of player personnel for the Titans from 2020-22.
