Byron Cowart Fantasy

Defensive tackle Byron Cowart was claimed off waivers by the Colts on Saturday, a day after the Patriots waived him. The 26-year-old was selected by New England in 2019 and has totaled 29 tackles (15 solo) and one sack throughout 19 games. He began on the reserve/PUP list last season but never saw the field in 2021. Nonetheless, even if Cowart impresses during training camp, he probably won't earn consistent work in 2022-23, at least enough to make a difference on the fantasy end.

New England Patriots defensive tackle Byron Cowart was placed on the COVID-19 list on Monday, further weakening the Patriots Defense ahead of its matchup against Denver next Sunday. Having started each of the teams first four games despite playing fewer than 50 percent of the snaps in any contest, Cowart combined for eight tackles in that span. With Michael Barnett on Injured Reserve, the Patriots interior defensive line depth is severely lacking, which may make the unit an unattractive option no matter which quarterback Denver sends to the field in Week 6. Check back for updates on Cowarts status and when he may be able to return to action.
