FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Patriots released defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth on Tuesday, two days after he sat out most of the second half of a loss to the Giants.
In six games with the Patriots, Haynesworth had just three tackles and no sacks. His last play came in Sunday’s 24-20 loss when left guard David Diehl blocked him to clear the way for Brandon Jacobs’ 10-yard touchdown run with 9:10 left in the third quarter.
The Patriots obtained Haynesworth from the Redskins on July 28 for a fifth- round draft choice in 2013.
In other moves, the Patriots signed receiver Tiquan Underwood, cut tight end Dan Gronkowski and released offensive lineman Thomas Welch from the practice squad.
