Patriots announce two roster moves after first training camp practice

The New England Patriots announced a couple of roster moves on Saturday, following their first training camp practice of the year.

They claimed rookie wide receiver Kobe Prentice off waivers from the Carolina Panthers. To make room, they released offensive lineman Sebastian Gutierrez.

Prentice began his career with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent. He spent last year with the Baylor Bears and produced at the collegiate level. He had 86 receptions for 1,160 yards and 11 touchdowns in three seasons between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Bears.

Gutierrez has been with the Patriots on four separate occasions dating back to the 2022 season.

The Patriots now have additional wide receiver depth with training camp in full swing.

Prentice will have an opportunity to battle it out with the other sharks at the position, including A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs, Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams, Mack Hollins and Efton Chism III.
