According to ESPNBoston.com, the New England Patriots released former UH star wide receiver Greg Salas Tuesday.

Salas was a fourth-round pick of the St. Louis Rams in 2011 and caught 27 passes for 264 yards as a rookie. He was traded on Sept. 1 to New England, where he was reunited with his Rams offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who had taken the same role with the Patriots.

Salas, a two-time all-conference selection at UH, caught no passes in Week 1 for the Patriots and was inactive for Week 2.
