FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) Safety Adrian Wilson has been released by New England.

The 13-year veteran did not play a snap for the Patriots in his one season with the team after hurting his ankle in the preseason. He spent all of 2013 on injured reserve, and New England announced his release Friday.

A four-time All-Pro pick, Wilson spent his first 12 seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. Wilson has played in 181 career games with 162 starts, making 716 tackles, 25 1/2 sacks and 27 interceptions.
