The Patriots are on their way to 53.

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf met with 14 players Friday morning and informed them they would be released. New England now has 77 players on its roster and therefore must cut another two dozen players before Tuesday.

The players released included quarterback Ben Wooldridge, offensive linemen Sidy Sow and Tyrese Robinson, running backs Micah Bernard and Shane Watts, wide receiver Phil Lutz, tight ends Jaheim Bell and Cole Fotheringham, defensive tackles Kyle Peko and Philip Blidi, linebackers R.J. Moten and Monty Rice, as well as cornerbacks Isaiah Bolden and Jordan Polk.
