The Patriots used Osborn’s vacated roster spot to activate Cole Strange from injured reserve. The 2022 first-rounder has been out all season with a torn patellar tendon, and Mayo didn’t voice a firm role for him this weekend in Arizona, but did hope he’d be active.

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk told a funny story about how he thought he got cut by the team. The Patriots moved his locker without informing him beforehand. When he came into the locker room, he saw the name “Lester Cotton” written on his locker. Cotton is the offensive guard the Patriots claimed off waivers last week.

With the New England Patriots at 3-10 coming off their bye, whispers continue to suggest that Patriots owner Robert Kraft and team president Jonathan Kraft could replace first-year head coach Jerod Mayo with a proven commodity such as former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel.

Quite a few decisions will need to be made, including about the future of head coach Jerod Mayo. After being selected to take over the reigns from Bill Belichick, Mayo has struggled through his first year as a head coach.

New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo confirmed the decision to waive wide receiver K. J. Osborn was a mutual one, when speaking with media members on Wednesday.

New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo made his weekly radio appearance on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” on Monday. With the Patriots coming off a bye week, the latest edition of the “Mayo Monday” segment had less to look back on.
