The Haynesworth experiment is over.
NEPD Staff Writer: Doug Kyed
In a not so surprising move, the Patriots have released DT Albert Haynesworth today.
The move was likely made due to a confrontation Haynesworth had with defensive line coach Pepper Johnson after Haynesworth showed a lack of effort in the third quarter against the Giants.
The Patriots traded a 2013 5th round pick to the Redskins for Haynesworth in July.
Aaron Hernandez, Sebastian Vollmer, Leigh Bodden, Ras-I Dowling, Albert Haynesworth, and Mike Wright were all ruled out prior to the game due to injuries.
Ryan Mallett is expected to be the final inactive declared by the Patriots. (Update: Mallett has been confirmed inactive)
Perhaps some new scenery in Foxboro will turn Haynesworth's frown upside-down.
According to multiple league media outlets, the Patriots have acquired former Redskins and Titans defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth for a 5th Round pick in 2013, pending Haynesworth passing a physical.
