Patriots cut a depth cornerback from practice squad ahead of playoffs. Multiple reports confirm the release, with Miami quickly signing him days later. Thin CB depth before playoffs suggests desperation, not confidence in Battle's ability. Fans questioned the timing given secondary injuries and playoff implications. New England must address cornerback depth through either acquisitions or internal promotion.
