Pats se separa de WR Thomas; Andrews para RI

Translating…

It had all the pomp and circumstance of the beginning of a marvelous comeback story whenDemaryius Thomasreturned to action in Week 4 of the preseason with hisPatriotsdebut.

Unfortunately for the veteran receiver it could be his last appearance with the Pats, as they are releasing Thomas, who is still working back from a torn Achilles, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Saturday. However, NFL Network’s Michael Giardi added that there is a chance for a quick return as sources indicate that’s the desire for the team and receiver.

While Thomas was released,PatriotscenterDavid Andrewswas placed on season-ending injured reserve, Rapoport reported.

Earlier in the week,Andrews was hospitalized for a blood clot in his lungs. While Andrews was released from the hospital, he will not return to the team this season and thePatriotsare left to replace their four-year starting center. That plan is already in flux after trades for linemenKorey CunninghamandJermaine Eluemunorduring the week.

Back on Thursday, Thomas led the wayas he, Josh Gordon and Julian Edelmanmade their returns to the field with theirPatriotspreseason debuts. Thomas collected a pair of touchdown grabs, but it apparently wasn’t enough to grab a spot on the 53-man roster.

Thomas’ cut wasn’t the only notable departure of the day for New England, which also parted ways withlongtime backup QB Brian Hoyer,leaving rookieJarrett Stidham, who tossed both of those TDs to Thomas, asTom Brady‘s No. 2.

Following a long and sterling showing of eight-plus seasons with theBroncosin which he collected fourPro Bowltickets, Thomas was traded mid-season to theTexansin 2018. He ended the season on IR with the Achilles injury, though. The Pats picked him up in April and after his one and only August showing it looked as if Thomas might be the team’s latest reclamation project. Perhaps it still could be.
