The New England Patriots have waived rookie quarterback/receiver Malik Cunningham just 11 days after signing him to their active roster from the practice squad. Cunningham, who played as a quarterback at Louisville and transitioned to a dual-threat quarterback/receiver role in New England, may return to the practice squad if he clears waivers. The Patriots had elevated Cunningham for a game against the Las Vegas Raiders, where he played six snaps as the backup quarterback and also provided depth at receiver. However, he was a healthy scratch in their next game against the Buffalo Bills.
