Patriots waive versatile wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr.

A spot on the New England Patriots’ 90-man roster has changed hands.

After re-signing cornerback Tae Hayes on Tuesday, the organization announced the waiving of wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. on Wednesday.

Bowden, 25, had agreed to a futures contract in January after spending the duration of the 2022 regular season on New England’s practice squad. He served as a Week 9 standard elevation versus the Indianapolis Colts and saw 14 offensive snaps before reverting to the scout team.

Entering the NFL in the third round of the 2020 draft out of Kentucky, Bowden spent his initial training camp with the Las Vegas Raiders.
