The Patriots will be without Devin Asiasi for an undetermined amount of time after the second-year tight end tested positive for COVID-19, a league source confirmed Tuesday.
Asiasi, who has been vaccinated, is not with the team and will have to quarantine. It’s unclear whether he is experiencing any symptoms.
In addition, the club has released wide receiver Devin Smith, according to a league source.
Coach Bill Belichick said earlier in the day that he expected a full complement to report for camp, and that while there’s a bit of a return to camp normalcy, virus concerns still exist.
