Arkin demoted to practice squad after brief stint on Patriots' 53-man roster.

The 23-year-old undrafted rookie tight end was released from the Patriots' 53-man roster following a 45-27 loss to Green Bay and re-signed to the practice squad after clearing waivers. Arkin, a 6-foot-4, 262-pound blocking tight end, appeared in five games including back-to-back starts, logging 60 offensive snaps and 41 special teams snaps while filling in at fullback during Reggie Gilliam's injured reserve stint. He now sits behind captain Hunter Henry, No. 95 overall pick Eli Raridon, and August waiver claim Cameron Latu on the active depth chart.
