Default Pats cut Bissinger and Gemara Wiliams

Kyle Bissinger and Gemara Williams were both cut. They could end up on IR because of their injuries.

Williams looked good on special teams against Tampa Bay. I was kind of disappointed he didn't get opportunities this week. He looked pretty fast on returns. I don't think I saw him out there at all against Tennessee.

Yeah, Gemara missed most or all of the week's practices due to an injury.

Bissigner missed the last public practice on Wednesday.

Both weren't dressed last night.

Pats moves
By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff

The Patriots have released rookie free agent linebacker Kyle Bissinger and second-year cornerback Gemara Williams.

Both players are recovering from injuries. Bissinger hyperextended his knee in practice, while Williams aggravated his hamstring. Williams, who returned two kickoffs in the preseason opener (32-yard average), is remaining in the Foxborough area with the hope he can be re-signed when healthy.

"Gemara really likes the organization," said agent John Pace, who represents both players. "Both have to heal, but I think they'll both land with a team when that happens."

From the agent's comments, it sounds like they weren't waived/injured as was the case with Hairston. So don't look for them reverting to IR.

Williams was actually waived/injured last year though, and reverted to IR.

You didn't see either of them because they both didn't play due to injury, as Reiss explained.

Pats1... We missed you last night in chat.... The PBP duties got passed around... It was bad when I had to do it based off the radio broadcast which was about 10 seconds behind.

Yeah, I certainly didn't anticipate getting home at 10:30. I'll be there next week though -- the most important game of the bunch.

Next week's game is being broadcast nationally on CBS.. At least that's what I've been told...I'd expect the chatroom to be dead...except for those fans outside the US...IF its broadcast nationally.

He did look fast on kickoff returns and wasn't hesitant about returning it right up the gut.

Excellent. It's been awhile since I've watched a preseason game without typing at the same time.
