The New England Patriots announced they have released TE Tanner Arkin from the 53-man roster.
The Patriots also released LB Jose Ramirez from the practice squad.
Ramirez, 27, was a sixth-round pick by the Buccaneers in the 2023 draft out of Eastern Michigan. He spent his rookie year on the practice squad after being cut and re-signed to a futures deal after the season.
Tampa Bay waived Ramirez after camp in 2025, and he spent the season with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the CFL. He signed a futures deal with the Eagles this offseason but was among their final roster cuts.
From there, he caught on with the Patriots’ practice squad and was promoted to the active roster before being let go and re-signed to the practice squad.
In 2026, Ramirez has appeared in two games for the Patriots.
