Former Penn State football linebacker Curtis Jacobs has been claimed off waivers by the New England Patriots, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Jacobs was cut by the Kansas City Chiefs a day earlier.

Jacobs played for Penn State from 2020-23 and recorded 61 total tackles, seven for a loss, three sacks, and an interception. In his four years with the Nittany Lions, Jacobs totaled 170 tackles, 24 for a loss, 9.5 sacks, five pass breakups, one forced fumble, two interceptions, and a touchdown in 45 games.
