Patriots release starting offensive lineman after loss to Dolphins

The New England Patriots have had one of the worst offensive line units in the league this season, and that was on full display again on Sunday in their 34-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium.

On the Tuesday after the loss, the Patriots announced a pair of roster moves on the offensive line, as they've released left guard Michael Jordan and claimed Lester Cotton off waivers.

New England originally signed Jordan back in January, but he started the 2024 season on the team's practice squad. After he was elevated for their first two games, he was signed to the active roster.
