The New England Patriots trimmed their roster entering the weekend, releasing offensive tackle Caleb Jones, center Lecitus Smith, and linebackers Curtis Jacobs and Andrew Parker Jr. Jones, who had been on the practice squad since September and active for two games this season, was a former undrafted free agent. Smith, after joining the active roster from Green Bay, started in one of his eight appearances. Jacobs joined via waiver claims but struggled with injuries, and Parker was a recent addition to the practice squad with minimal NFL experience. The cuts reflect the team's ongoing roster evaluation and improvement efforts.
