After cutdown day, the New England Patriots had only three true wide receivers left on their 53-man roster. And while Chris Hogan, Phillip Dorsett and Cordarrelle Patterson form a solid and high-upside core, the team was unquestionably in need of more depth alongside them. Enter Chad Hansen and Amara Darboh, who were both picked up by the Patriots on the waiver wire on Sunday with the plan to complete the team’s position depth chart for now.
It did not quite work out this way. Two days after getting claimed, Darboh was gone again: he failed his physical with the club because of an injury and was waived on Tuesday.
