The Facts: As previously expected, the Patriots have released Gordon. Gordon is now subject to waivers as he was released from injured reserve.

Diehards Line: The 28-year-old receiver had been dealing with a knee injury and left the Patriots' Week 6 game against the Giants with the injury. Gordon was placed on injured reserve last Wednesday. Gordon caught 20 receptions for 287 yards and a touchdown in six games with New England this season. Now the veteran wideout is looking for a new franchise.
