The New England Patriots are waiving wide receiver KJ Osborn, according to multiple reports Tuesday.
Osborn, 27, has played in seven games (four starts) and has seven receptions on 18 targets for 57 yards and one touchdown. He has participated in 53 percent (232) of offensive snaps. He has not played since the Patriots’ 19–3 win at Chicago on November 10.
The Patriots signed Osborn as a free agent in March after he spent four seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, who selected him in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Osborn has 165 career receptions for 1,902 yards and 16 TDs in 66 regular season games (34 starts).
New England is also expected to add rookie kicker John Parker Romo to the practice squad, NFL Network reported Tuesday. Romo, 27, played in four games for the Vikings this season, making 11 of 12 field-goal attempts with a completion of 55 yards, and seven of eight extra-point attempts.
The Patriots’ starting kicker is veteran Joey Sly.
