- Kevin Huber won the punting battle. They valued his consistency over Chrisman.
- Kendric Pryor was a surprise cut, but should at least resurface on the practice squad. He could be added to the roster once guys are moved to IR.
- Mike Thomas was released but the team wants him back after guys are moved to IR.
- Cam Taylor-Britt and Khalid Kareem made the initial 53, but will be moved to IR. This allows them to return later in the year.
- Mitchell Wilcox and/or Isaiah Prince could potentially also land on IR.
- Allan George makes the team as an UDFA.
- Trayveon Williams making it surprises me. However, he does add value as a pass blocker and on special teams.
- Practice squad should be announced tomorrow.
