The New England Patriots reduced the roster by four entering the weekend.
The organization announced the cuts of offensive tackle Caleb Jones, center Lecitus Smith and linebackers Curtis Jacobs and Andrew Parker Jr. on Friday.
Jones, 26, joined the practice squad in Foxborough shortly after its formation last September. The 6-foot-9, 370-pound bookend remained through season’s end and signed a futures contract in January. He entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Green Bay Packers in 2022, and began his rookie year on the practice squad prior to stints on the 53-man roster and non-football illness list.
