NFL teams continue to cut players ahead of the roster size deadlines later this month.
According to a report from ESPN NFL insider Mike Reiss, the New England Patriots have released a veteran offensive lineman.
Jerald Hawkins, a 27-year-old offensive lineman who signed with the Patriots earlier this offseason, has reportedly been cut.
“The Patriots have released veteran OL Jerald Hawkins, who had been signed on July 30. NFL teams must trim rosters from 90 to 85 by Aug. 17, and this gives the Patriots a head start,” he reported on Twitter.

NFL teams must get down to an 85-man roster by this Tuesday, so we’ll be seeing plenty of roster moves ahead of that deadline.
The Patriots are coming off their preseason debut, in which they defeated the Washington Football Team, 22-13.
New England is scheduled to take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night.
