New England waived Bernard on Friday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports. Bernard initially inked with the Titans after going undrafted out of Utah this offseason, and though he found a new opportunity with the Patriots early August, he won't make the team's initial 53-man roster. The rookie running back will work to find an opportunity on a practice squad this season.

Micah Bernard: Breaking News
Signs with New England
Bernard signed with the Patriots on Tuesday, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports. Bernard doesn't stand much of a chance to make the Patriots' 53-man roster at this stage of the summer, and he's likely being signed just to serve as depth for the Patriots' preseason finale Thursday against the Giants.
Waived by Tennessee
Bernard was waived by the Titans on Monday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports. The running back was let go to make room for another back, Tyrion Davis-Price, per Davenport. Bernard signed with the Titans in May after recording 1,009 rushing yards and four touchdowns in his last collegiate season at Utah in 2024. Now, though, he'll have to look elsewhere to find an NFL opportunity.
