The Patriots have informed rookie receiver Rod Owens that he will be waived by today's roster deadline. Owens, who delivered a 67-yard catch-and-run reception in the third quarter of the team's preseason finale, has practice squad eligibility and could return if he clears waivers.
The move is not a surprise as the Patriots' depth chart at receiver looks set with Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Brandon Tate, Julian Edelman and Sam Aiken.
