James Sanders is out in New England.

The Patriots informed Sanders today that he’s being cut, his agent Gary Uberstine told Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Sanders started at safety for last week’s preseason loss to the Lions, when the Patriots’ secondary was picked apart by Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford.

Sanders played in 15 games for the Patriots last season, starting nine and intercepting three passes.
