Patriots claim ex-Alabama receiver Kobe Prentice as training camp opens

The New England Patriots claimed wide receiver Kobe Prentice off waivers as training camp opened on July 25, 2026. Prentice, previously with the Carolina Panthers, was released after just one day with the team. A track standout, he had a productive college career, particularly during his transfer to Baylor, where he recorded six touchdowns in one season. This move comes as the Patriots continue to assess their receiver depth ahead of the preseason, with Prentice competing for a roster spot and possible kick return duties.
