Pinckney was waived by the Patriots on Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pinckney signed a reserve/future contract with the Patriots in January but with all the free agency additions the team has made over the past week the linebacker found himself as the odd-man-out.

Pinckney signed a future contract with the Patriots on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Originally a member of the Patriots' practice squad, Pinckney has now secured a futures deal. After spending a few weeks of the 2020 season on suspension, the linebacker will set his sights on suiting up in 2021. He has yet to see action in an NFL game.

Pinckney has been suspended six games for taking a banned supplement, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pinckney was rehabbing from offseason hip surgery and presumably took the supplement to aid his recovery. Pinckney's season is over given the suspension, meaning he will set his sights toward returning fully healthy for the 2021 campaign.
