Report: Nathan Rourke to be waived by New England Patriots

May 6, 2024 | 7:34 AM

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — It appears Canadian Nathan Rourke’s time with the New England Patriots is over.

According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, the Patriots have informed Rourke that he will be waived.

The move would leave New England with four quarterbacks: Veterans Jacoby Brissett and Bailey Zappe along with rookies Drake Maye (third overall pick in 2024 draft) and Joe Milton (sixth-round 2024 selection). 

New England claimed Rourke off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars last December and he backed up Zappe late in the season.
