The New England Patriots informed wide receiver Tyquan Thornton that he was being waived on Saturday, indicating a significant roster restructuring amid player performance issues.
Thornton never emerged as the top threat the Patriots hoped he would after he clocked a 4.28 time in the 40-yard dash, raising questions about his development.
With the Patriots carrying seven receivers on their roster and Thornton as the seventh option, the team is creating space for potential key defensive arrivals.
Thornton played in six games this season, totaling just four catches for 47 yards, which reflects his struggles to secure a role in the offense.
