It appears Canadian Nathan Rourke91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s time with the New England Patriots is over.

According to ESPN91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s Mike Reiss, the Patriots have informed Rourke that he will be waived.

The move would leave New England with four quarterbacks: Veterans Jacoby Brissett and Bailey Zappe along with rookies Drake Maye (third overall pick in 2024 draft) and Joe Milton (sixth-round 2024 selection).

New England claimed Rourke off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars last December and he backed up Zappe late in the season.

Rourke hasn91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™t appeared in any NFL games with Jacksonville or New England.

Rourke, 25, a Victoria native, was the CFL91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s top Canadian in 2022 after passing for 3,349 yards and 25 TDs in just 10 regular-season games with the B.C. Lions. His campaign was reduced after suffering a Lisfranc ligament sprain in his right foot.

If Rourke doesn91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™t catch on with another NFL team, he91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™d be a CFL free agent.
