ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Patriots have released veteran WR Michael Jenkins.
Jenkins, 31, signed a one-year deal with the Patriots back in March, but was never guaranteed a roster spot. He offers plenty of size, but struggles to gain separation from opposing defensive backs.
Rookies Kenbrell Thompkins and Aaron Dobson appear to have played well enough during training camp to convince the team to move forward without Jenkins. We’ll have to see if he finds interest from other teams in the coming weeks.
