Patriots claim Kobe Prentice, waive Sebastian Gutierrez in roster moves
Summary

The New England Patriots have claimed rookie wide receiver Kobe Prentice off waivers, adding him to their receiving corps. The move comes alongside the waiver of tackle Sebastian Gutierrez, who returned to the Patriots under a futures contract earlier this year. Prentice, a former undrafted free agent from the Carolina Panthers, aims to bolster a crowded wide receiver room featuring established talents like A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs. Additionally, rookie Jimmy Kibble has reverted to injured reserve after being waived with an injury designation prior to training camp.
