Times Runs Out For Williams

The Pats announced the release of Safety/Linebacker Tank Williams. He missed all of last season due to an ACL injury during a pre-season game. He had practiced very little this season. When he was signed last year, he was seen as a hybrid who could switch between the linebacker and safety positions.

Williams was originally drafted in 2002 by Tennesee Titans in the 2nd round. He missed part of the 2004 season with a knee injury and was signed by the Minnesota Vikings in 2006. He subsequently missed the 2006 with a knee injury before being released in 2007.

He was facing an uphill battle for a roster spot as both linebacker and safety are full of depth.
