Patriots waived WR Britt Davis. He's been released with an injury settlement. Davis caught a three-yard touchdown in Thursday's preseason opener, but also suffered a minor shoulder injury. A former undrafted free agent, Davis has appeared in just three career games, all of which came in 2010 with the Broncos.

ESPN Boston considers WR Britt Davis a "true long shot" to crack the Patriots' 53-man roster. Davis was out of football last season before being signed to the Patriots' practice squad for the playoffs. Not a particularly adept special teamer, Davis will need a wave of injuries to hit the Pats' receiver corps to have any chance at holding his roster spot.
