Veteran receiver Demaryius Thomas has hit another career setback.
Thomas has been released by the Patriots, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
After spending the offseason rehabbing a torn Achilles tendon, Thomas appeared in the fourth preseason game and played well for the Patriots, which appeared to give him a good chance to make the roster. But the Patriots apparently feel confident with Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon, Philip Dorsett and first-round rookie N’Keal Harry, which makes Thomas expendable.
Now Thomas becomes a free agent and hopes some team has a need for a veteran receiver who’s trying to get his career back on track.
