The New England Patriots made a series of roster moves on Tuesday, one of them of being waiving running back J.J. Taylor. This was first reported by ESPN’s Feld Yates.
Taylor signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent on May 5, 2020. He played in 11 games and carried the ball 38 times for 147 yards and two touchdowns.
His best game came against the Las Vegas Raiders in September 2020, when he had 11 carries for 43 yards in a 36-20 victory for New England.
The move comes as the Patriots look to trim down the running back room, headlined by Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson.
The Patriots have released DL Henry Anderson and DB/ST Justin Bethel, while also waiving RB J.J. Taylor, per source.

New England is making its final roster touches before the season opener on September 11 in Miami. The running back position could be heavily featured this season, as the team tries to work in a new offense.
