In compliance with the NFL’s second roster-adjustment deadline in the NFL (requiring rosters to be reduced to 80 players by 4:00pm ET on Tuesday, August 24) the Patriots have released safety Malik Gant, wide receiver Devin Ross, long snapper Brian Khoury, linebacker Cassh Maluia and offensive lineman R.J. Prince.
Offensive lineman Marcus Martin was also placed on injured reserve.
Gant was a late addition during training camp, signing with the Patriots earlier this month. The 24-year-old was hoping for a second tour of duty with the Patriots, as he originally joined the team as an undrafted free agent in 2019.
