Offensive lineman Josh Kline will no longer be included in a trade that was set to send him from the New England Patriots to the Philadelphia Eagles for cornerback Eric Rowe, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Kline will remain with the Patriots for now, but could soon be released, adds Schefter.

The reasoning for his removal remains unclear, but NESN's Tom E. Curran reports that a failed physical was not the cause.

Kline was set to be sent along with a conditional fourth-round pick to the Eagles, and was reportedly considered to be a trade candidate once he arrived in Philly.

The 26-year-old started 13 games at guard for the Patriots last season in his third year as a pro.
