The New England Patriots have released wide receiver Tyquan Thornton, a 2022 second-round draft pick, due to a personal reason, according to sources. Thornton, who has been a healthy scratch in recent weeks, is now subject to waivers. His release comes as the Patriots adjust their roster, potentially making room for defensive tackle Christian Barmore or cornerback Alex Austin to be activated. The team has been carrying an unusually high number of wide receivers, with seven on the roster, which is higher than the league average.
