Patriots Cut Corey Coleman From P-Squad

Corey Coleman‘s stock has plummeted considerably over the past two months. The 2016 first-round pick had already gone from the Browns’ wide receiver rotation to being traded for a seventh-round pick to ending up on a practice squad.

Now, the Patriots are cutting the third-year wideout from their 10-man practice squad, Field Yates of ESPN.com reports (on Twitter).

Coleman wound up on New England’s taxi squad after the Pats cut him from their active roster to make room for his former Browns teammate, Josh Gordon. Coleman did not play in a game for the Patriots this season and is now unattached again.

This marks the third team to jettison 2016’s first receiver drafted. The Bills waived Coleman soon after trading for him. The Baylor product started eight games for the 2017 Browns but managed only 305 receiving yards after showing some promise early in his rookie season.
