New England Patriots reach injury settlement with defensive lineman Isaiah Iton

The New England Patriots waived defensive tackle Isaiah Iton from injured reserve on Wednesday following an injury settlement. The 25-year-old previously reverted to the team's injured reserve list at the end of August after being waived with an injury designation during final roster cuts. Iton signed with the team earlier this year and appeared in preseason action, logging five tackles and one quarterback hurry across 77 snaps. By reaching an agreement, the Patriots have now reduced their injured reserve list to six players. Iton is now classified as a street free agent and remains eligible to sign with any team. The move arrives as the Patriots prepare for their upcoming season schedule.
