New England Patriots release receiver T.J. Luther, sign JaQuan Jackson: Roster moves and roster-building continue as Patriots prepare for training camp

The New England Patriots made a roster move on Thursday, releasing receiver T.J. Luther to make room for the signing of wideout JaQaue Jackson. Luther, who was signed by the New York Jets as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2023, was released before the start of the season. He then signed with the Patriots and was released by the team last October, only to be re-signed to the practice squad.

Despite his departure, the Patriots still have a strong group of wide receivers, with a total of 12 currently on the roster. The team is expected to continue making adjustments to their roster as they prepare for training camp and the upcoming season. The process of fine-tuning the roster will likely be ongoing as the Patriots work to solidify their lineup.

Luther was a standout player for Gardner-Webb in 2022, recording an impressive 55 catches for 1,055 yards and seven touchdowns. His departure from the team is a loss for both him and his former teammates, but it opens up opportunities for other players on the roster to step up and contribute more.

The Patriots Wire first reported on this story and will continue to provide updates as further changes are made to their roster in preparation for training camp and beyond.
