The Colts hosted Wheatley for a workout Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The Patriots cut Wheatley from injured reserve with an injury settlement last month, but he's evidently now healthy. Wheatley appeared in two games for New England last season, seeing five snaps on special teams.
The Patriots waived Wheatley (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Wheatley reverted to New England's IR after going unclaimed on waivers in early August, but the team has now decided to move on from the 27-year-old. Wheatley has appeared in just two regular-season contests in his NFL career, both of which were with the Patriots last season. He's now free to sign elsewhere once he has recovered from his undisclosed injury.
Wheatley (undisclosed) reverted to the Patriots' injured reserve list Saturday after clearing waivers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Wheatley was waived by the Patriots on Friday with an unspecified injury. He will now be forced to miss the entire 2024 season unless an injury settlement is reached between the offensive lineman and New England. Wheatley appeared in two regular-season games with the Patriots in 2023, but he ended the year on injured reserve due to a knee injury.
New England waived Wheatley (undisclosed) with an injury designation Friday, per the NFL's transaction log. Wheatley came to the Patriots in a trade with Cleveland last August. He got into two games with New England last season but played exclusively on special teams. Wheatley suffered a knee injury last October that resulted in him spending the remainder of the campaign on injured reserve, though it's not clear if his current injury is related.
Wheatley (knee) is participating in the Patriots' organized team activities, Greg A. Bedard of the Boston Sports Journal reports. Wheatley went on New England's injured reserve in October of last season due to a knee injury. His participation at OTAs indicates his health is back up to par at this point. Barring any setbacks, he will continue competing for a depth offensive line role heading into the season.
