It's never easy for a wide receiver to jump in midseason, or late season, and pick up the New England Patriots' offense.
Apparently, the Leonard Hankerson addition didn't go as the team had hoped.
Hankerson, claimed off waivers from Atlanta on Dec. 16, lasted only 10 days in the New England, according to ProFootballTalk.
With Hankerson's impending release, the team will be down to four wide receivers -- Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, Brandon LaFell and Keshawn Martin.
Both Amendola and LaFell are questionable Sunday due to injuries sustained in Week 15 versus the Titans.
