Patriots Releasing P Bryce Baringer Off Injured Reserve
Bryce Baringer is fully healthy, but New England is keeping Mitch Wishnowsky after he averaged 47.1 yards per punt, sources said.
- On Monday, the New England Patriots released veteran punter Bryce Baringer, committing to Mitch Wishnowsky as the team's primary punter for the remainder of the 2026 season.
- Baringer, who served as the team's starter since 2023, had been on injured reserve since suffering an undisclosed injury during the preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
- Averaging 47.1 yards per punt, Wishnowsky has performed effectively across seven games, with 45.5% of his kicks landing within the opponents' 20-yard line.
- With roster injuries mounting, New England faced a limited number of designations for players to return from injured reserve, making Baringer's return unlikely.
- Now fully healthy, the 27-year-old is free to sign with any other team, concluding his tenure with the Patriots after 51 games and 219 total punts.
