Patriots claim Cameron Latu and Darius Muasau off NFL waiver wire

The New England Patriots added two players to their active roster by claiming tight end Cameron Latu and linebacker Darius Muasau off waivers on Monday. These moves follow the league-wide deadline to reduce active rosters to 53 players. Latu, previously with the Philadelphia Eagles, joins the Patriots after entering the league as a 2023 third-round draft pick. Muasau, a linebacker from the New York Giants, arrives in New England with 27 games of NFL experience. The Patriots hold the 31st priority position on the waiver wire. In a related transaction, the Miami Dolphins claimed cornerback Marcellas Dial Jr. from the New England Patriots after he was cut during the weekend. The Patriots must now make corresponding roster moves to finalize their active 53-man squad.
