The Patriots waived DeGennaro on Saturday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
DeGennaro signed with the Patriots in early May as an undrafted free agent out of James Madison. The wide receiver was aiming for a special-teams slot with the team but has evidently fallen short. DeGennaro will be subject to waivers through Monday due to Sunday's cutdown day. If the 25-year-old goes unclaimed, he will become a free agent able to sign with any organization's 53-man roster or practice squad.

Patriots' Nick DeGennaro: Welcomed by Patriots
Rotowire
DeGennaro signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent Friday.
DeGennaro spent five seasons between Maryland and Richmond before finally settling in at James Madison for the 2025 campaign. He finished with 28 receptions for 500 yards (second on the team) and five touchdowns (tied for first). DeGennaro's team-high 17.4 yards per reception was impressive, and he backed it up with a 4.40 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. The late breakout is obviously concerning, but he could find a spot on special teams with a strong offseason program and training camp.
