A spot on the practice squad in Foxborough has reopened.

The New England Patriots announced the release of long snapper Tucker Addington on Tuesday, ending his third stint.

Addington, 27, returned to the organization midway through October. From there, he served as a standard elevation against the Houston Texans as special teams captain Joe Cardona was downgraded from questionable to out. Nine snaps followed between punts and extra points before reverting.

The 6-foot-2, 230-pound Addington had re-signed during training camp in August and cleared waivers at the NFL’s 53-man roster deadline. He originally joined the practice squad late in the 2022 regular season after making stops in the USFL as well as with the Dallas Cowboys. A promotion came after the veteran incumbent at long snapper landed on injured reserve.

Undrafted out of Sam Houston State, Addington has also been a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Washington Commanders. His career includes seven appearances and one solo tackle.
