The Patriots released cornerback Bradley Fletcher today.
Fletcher suffered a hamstring injury this week in practice. It's not serious, but a source said he wouldn't have been able to play tomorrow against the Cowboys if needed. However, Fletcher was a healthy scratch in Week 3 against the Jaguars after falling behind cornerback Justin Coleman on the depth chart.
Quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger and Tyrod Taylor were 8 of 10 for 129 yards and one touchdown when targeting Fletcher, who was also flagged once for pass interference.
Fletcher signed a one-year contract this offseason that included a $300,000 signing bonus.
