Per ESPN's Field Yates, the New England Patriots have cut cornerback Bradley Fletcher. Per ESPN's Mike Reiss, the Patriots have promoted safety Brandon King from the practice squad.
The writing had been on the wall for Fletcher after the free agent acquisition was a healthy scratch in week 3. The Patriots kept cornerback Tarell Brown active, even though Brown didn't play with a foot injury, and undrafted free agent rookie Justin Coleman played heavy snaps against the Jaguars.
The Patriots current cornerback depth chart is Malcolm Butler, Logan Ryan, Tarell Brown, and Justin Coleman.
