All NFL teams had to trim their roster down to 85 players by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, and to reach that number, the New England Patriots released tight end Troy Fumagalli.
Fumagalli did not participate in the Patriots' second and final joint practice with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday.
He was dealing with an undisclosed injury. The 26-year-old was one of several tight ends -- including Jonnu Smith, Hunter Henry and Matt LaCosse -- who didn't practice Tuesday.
Fumagalli played 24 snaps in last week's preseason opener against the Washington Football Team.
