Patriots make two roster moves, including release of preseason fan-favorite

There was some roster movement on Tuesday with the New England Patriots announcing the releases of wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey from the 53-man roster and offensive lineman Sebastian Gutierrez from the practice squad.

Humphrey is obviously the name that stands out between the two considering he was getting playing time when the receiving corps was dealing with injuries. Things have obviously changed now with the returns of Jakobi Meyers and rookie second-round draft pick Tyquan Thornton.

The release of Gutierrez might actually signal the Patriots planning to sign Humphrey back to the practice squad. The 24-year-old receiver made some noise during the preseason, and he seems like a player they’d like to hold onto as an option down the line.

If not the Patriots, someone will surely be interested in Humphrey, who is unusually big for his position. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound wideout still has plenty of untapped potential that could possibly help the next team that signs him.
