It was an ugly beginning of the week for the Illinois football program, as 10 former players were either cut or waived to get NFL rosters down to 53 players.
The fact that the Illini have so many players in the NFL is always exciting, so having some of them cut is equally disappointing. Isaiah Williams was one of the former players who had his situation change at the beginning of the week.
The Cincinnati Bengals had to get down to the 53-man roster, and Williams was one of the cuts.
