The Patriots waived defensive backs Jalen Elliott and Devin Hafford, the team announced Saturday.
Elliott played 21 defensive snaps and two on special teams on Friday night in the team’s second preseason game after playing a team-high 75 defensive snaps and 13 special teams snaps in the first exhibition game.
Elliott made 10 tackles, one for loss, against the Giants but had no stats Friday night against the Panthers.
Hafford played five defensive snaps and three on special teams against the Panthers.
Elliott, 24, signed with New England on Aug. 2 after spending the past two seasons with the Lions.
