The Patriots have waived fullback James Develin, a league source confirmed. Develin, signed to the team's practice squad on Sept. 1 of last season, eventually landed on the active roster in late November, providing special-teams value. He worked at tight end during portions of training camp this year, and with the team down to just three tight ends on the active roster -- one of which is the recovering Rob Gronkowski -- there was a feeling that he might earn some reps as an H-back type player to provide offensive versatility. The Brown graduate entered the league in 2010 when he was signed to the Bengals' practice squad after a stint in the United Football League. The Patriots' roster is now at 52 players.
