Jerel Worthy: Released by Bills
The Bills opted to cut Worthy on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Worthy is coming off his most productive game of the season, having posted three tackles in Sunday's loss to the Saints. However, the Bills opted to sign defensive lineman DeAndre Coleman on Tuesday to help boost their run defense (Coleman had more size than Worthy), and Worthy was the odd man out. He'll now look for new opportunities elsewhere.

Bills' Jerel Worthy: Clears concussion protocol
Worthy passed all phases of the NFL's concussion protocol and is expected to practice Wednesday, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.
The Bills' release of DeAndre Coleman earlier this week appeared to signal that the team anticipated Worthy would be able to make his season debut Sunday against the Falcons, and the fact that Worthy has been cleared to practice only adds further credence to that notion. With Marcell Dareus (ankle) expected to be limited at practice Wednesday and at risk of missing the Week 4 contest, Worthy could be thrust into a sizable role right away if he indeed suits up this weekend.

Bills' Jerel Worthy: Ruled out Sunday
Worthy (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Jets, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
Worthy is still going through the league's concussion protocol after missing this past week of practice, and it appears as though the Bills already know the defensive tackle won't be symptom-free by the weekend. Adolphus Washington and Cedric Thornton will be the only reserve defensive tackles in Worthy's absence Sunday.
