Source: Jets cut KR Williams after gaffes in loss

"FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- For the second time in four weeks, the winless New York Jets released a player who made a critical mistake on special teams. Isaiah Williams, who lost a fumble on the second-half kickoff in Monday night's 27-21 loss to the Miami Dolphins, was waived on Saturday, a source told ESPN. It was another loud statement by first-year coach Aaron Glenn, who is trying to create a sense of accountability. After a Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Jets cut kickoff returner Xavier Gipson, whose late fumble proved costly in the two-point loss."

"In Williams' case, he also made a mental error - an ill-advised fair catch at his own 3-yard line with the Jets trailing by 11 points in the fourth quarter. "That was a big part of the game, and I let the team down," Williams said after the game, referring to his fumble. On the fair catch, he said, "Just thinking too much, man, just trying to make a play. At the last minute, I see (a Miami player) and I forget where I am on the field." The Jets filled Williams' roster spot with linebacker Mykal Walker, who was signed from the practice squad."

The winless New York Jets waived Isaiah Williams after his second-half kickoff fumble in a 27-21 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Williams also made a mental error by calling a fair catch at his own 3-yard line while trailing by 11 points. Coach Aaron Glenn emphasized accountability, mirroring a previous move when the Jets cut Xavier Gipson after a costly Week 1 fumble. Williams said he let the team down and that he was "thinking too much." The team signed linebacker Mykal Walker from the practice squad and is likely to use Avery Williams or Isaiah Davis for return duties as Kene Nwangwu remains questionable with a hamstring issue.
