Brennan Williams is putting away his cleats and lacing up some wrestling boots.
The offensive tackle was released from the New England Patriots practice squad Thursday morning and will pursue a career in pro wrestling. The Patriots didn’t feel Williams would be ready to play soon enough after sitting out with a bone bruise in his leg. The Patriots are offensive tackle-needy right now with starter Marcus Cannon out of practice while nursing a toe injury.
The 6-foot-6, 310-pound lineman was signed on Tuesday. The Patriots now have one open spot on their 10-man practice squad.
