Wayne will not make the Patriots' 53-man roster, ESPN's Josina Anderson reports.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction hasn't officially been announced, but with Wayne not at Saturday's practice, it's pretty clear that he's being released. The contract he recently signed includes $500,000 in guaranteed money, yet the Patriots seemingly reached the same conclusion as the Colts: Wayne has nothing left to offer. This might taken as a good sign for Brandon LaFell's (foot) Week 1 availability, but in reality, it's probably not related.
