Patriots Waive Guard Layden Robinson With Injury Designation as 53-Man Cutdown Nears

The decision underscores a shift in personnel preferences under Mike Vrabel that deprioritized elements of last year’s draft class.

Overview

  • If he goes unclaimed on waivers, the 2024 fourth-round pick will revert to New England’s injured reserve.
  • Robinson started 11 games as a rookie after being drafted No. 103 overall and was credited by Pro Football Focus with allowing 33 quarterback pressures.
  • He was not part of the new staff’s regular guard rotation, with reps instead going to Mike Onwenu on the right and Jared Wilson and Ben Brown on the left.
  • The move leaves the Patriots at 76 players as they work toward Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline to set the 53-man roster, with waiver claims processed by Wednesday at noon.
  • The 2024 class has thinned due to injuries and departures, with Ja’Lynn Polk headed for shoulder surgery, Marcellas Dial Jr. on injured reserve with a torn ACL, Joe Milton traded to Dallas, and Jaheim Bell waived, while Drake Maye, Caedan Wallace, and Javon Baker remain in contention.
