Isaiah Iton: Reaches injury settlement with New England
Rotowire
The Patriots waived Iton (undisclosed) from injured reserve Wednesday with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Iton reverted to the Patriots' injured reserve on Aug. 31 after clearing waivers. The defensive tackle likely thinks he can contribute to another team in 2026 and has reached a settlement with New England to become a free agent. Once Iton recovers from his undisclosed issue, he will be free to sign with any organization.

Iton (undisclosed) reverted to New England's injured reserve Monday, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Iton missed all of last season while on IR due to a hip injury, though it's unclear if his current issue is related. The Rutgers product did play in all three of the Patriots' preseason contests, but he was waived/injured Sunday. Since he cleared waivers and reverted to IR, Iton will need to sit out the entire 2026 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with New England.
