Cornerback Cyrus Jones was among the players cut by the Patriots on Saturday, according to reports.
The 2016 second-round pick, who missed all of last season with a torn ACL, saw his first game action in a year when he took the field Thursday in the preseason finale against the Giants. He had a punt return of 8 yards but was unable to showcase his explosiveness on kickoffs, with no returns. He did show some stickiness in the secondary.
“I needed that. It’s been a while since I’ve been out there for a full 60,’’ he said after the game.
