The New England Patriots canceled injured wide receiver Quincy Adeboyejo on Saturday.
Adeboyejo’s release comes two days before training for the Padded Patriots training camp begins on Monday, August 17. If Adeboyejo allows the waivers, he will return to the New England injured reserve list. The Patriots could release Adeboyejo with an injury settlement at a later date.
Adeboyejo was signed to the Patriots practice squad on November 20, 2019. He signed a forward contract this offseason.
The 6-3, 200-pound wide receiver has spent time with the Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets before.
The Patriots still have Julian Edelman, Mohamed Sanu, N’Keal Harry, Jakobi Meyers, Gunner Olszewski, Damiere Byrd, Jeff Thomas, Will Hastings, Isaiah Zuber and Devin Ross on their wide depth board.
Adeboyejo was a long-time player to be one of the 53 Patriots. The Patriots now have five free spots on their 80-man roster.
