With receiver Andrew Hawkins joining the Patriots, the Patriots needed to make a corresponding roster move. Receiver Devin Street was moved off the roster.
The Patriots announced on Wednesday the release of Street, who had been claimed off waivers from the Colts on May 2.
A fifth-round pick of the Cowboys in 2014, Steelers previously spent time on the Patriots practice squad before joining Indy’s active roster last season, appearing in five games. For his career, he has 36 regular-season appearances and two starts.
Street will be subject to waivers. If unclaimed, he’ll become a free agent.
