Patriots surprisingly waive cornerback despite big Week 11 role

Following their Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the New England Patriots are making further roster moves. Despite playing a large amount of snaps in Week 11, veteran cornerback Marco Wilson is no longer on the Patriots.

Wilson was released on Monday and placed on waivers, per Adam Schefter. According to Pro Football Reference, he played 12 total snaps — nine on defense and three on special teams — against the Rams and recorded two tackles. He has accumulated just eight total tackles on the year.

Wilson's nine defensive snaps in Week 11 were a season-low.
