The New England Patriots have made their first deal ahead of the Nov. 5 NFL trade deadline.
They are trading edge rusher Josh Uche to the Kansas City Chiefs, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported Monday. Rapoport also reported the Patriots will get a 2026 sixth-round draft pick from the Chiefs as part of the deal.
Uche was held out of the Patriots' 25-22 win over the New York Jets on Sunday despite not having an injury, so it's not surprising that he was moved soon after.
The Patriots drafted Uche in the second-round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
