The New England Patriots released wide receiver K.J. Osborn on Tuesday and activated guard Cole Strange to the 53-man roster.
Osborn, 27, has played in seven games (four starts) and has seven receptions on 18 targets for 57 yards and one touchdown. He has participated in 53 percent (232) of the offensive snaps. He has not played since the Patriots’ 19-3 victory at Chicago on Nov. 10.
The Patriots signed Osborn as a free agent in March after he spent four seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, who selected him in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
