From NFL.com:
Brennan Williams released by Houston Texans - NFL.com
It should be noted that BB was widely derided for "reaching" for Duron Harmon with the 92nd pick in the 3rd round in the 2013 draft, sandwiched neatly in-between Williams at 89 and Montgomery at 95. Harmon goes to training camp in his second year as the favorite for a starting job opposite Devin McCourty. Josh Boyce at 102 in the 4th round was also drafted in the same vicinity, and has a chance to became the Pats' kickoff returner and perhaps more. Late 3rd/early 4th round picks are far from a sure thing.
The Houston Texans have released offensive tackle Brennan Williams. Williams, the 89th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, was waived with the failed physical designation on Monday, according to ESPN Boston. Williams didn't play a snap as a rookie after undergoing microfracture surgery on his knee.
Texans general manager Rick Smith would probably pay good money to mind erase last year's third round. The team's other pick in the third, defensive end Sam Montgomery, was released in October after violating team rules at a hotel in Kansas City.
The reasons behind Williams' release are far less salacious. Still, parting ways with two top 100 picks in a year represents a significant organizational failure.
