The New England Patriots have claimed former Carolina Panthers QB Matt Corral, a source confirmed to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, giving New England a second quarterback behind starter Mac Jones on the 53-man roster.

On Tuesday Corral felt he had made Carolina's 53-man roster, saying he couldn't wait to get in the quarterback room with Bryce Young, the top pick of the 2023 draft, and veteran Andy Dalton. But the 2022 third-round pick out of Ole Miss was released on Wednesday.
