First reported by Jeff Howe, the Patriots have informed Derek Rivers that he’s being released. Rivers has had a disappointing time in New England following a number of injury-plagued years with the team.
The Pats also released OT Hjalte Froholdt today whilst activating RB Sony Michel from the injured reserve. The consensus on social media is that Rivers and Froholdt could both return on the practice squad, Rivers would have to clear waivers first.
I’m not too surprised by this in all honesty, Rivers’ play time had reduced a bunch in the last few weeks, think we have better options moving forward.
