Brossette was released from the Lions' practice squad Tuesday.
Detroit added Brossette to the practice squad earlier this month after the LSU product had a busy preseason with New England. His release from said practice squad is not good news for his already minimal dynasty value.

Rotowire
Brossette was waived by New England on Saturday.

Rotowire
Brossette rushed 20 times for 62 yards and a touchdown while catching all four of his targets for 18 yards in Thursday's 31-29 loss to the Giants in the preseason finale.

Brossette carried 22 times for 66 yards and a TD in Thursday's preseason opener, a 31-3 win over the Lions.
Brossette also converted a two-point conversion in the contest.

The Patriots are expected to sign Brossette as an undrafted free agent.
Brossette was finally able to lead the LSU backfield in 2018 after he was stuck behind Leonard Fournette for much of his career. Brossette made the most of his opportunity, rushing for 1,039 yards and 14 touchdowns in 13 games for the Tigers. He will face an uphill battle for a roster spot, especially after the Patriots drafted Alabama product Damien Harris in the third round.
