Cuts on the Horizon

What's the deadline for final 53?

Cuts will start today even though 4pm tomorrow is the deadline.  A few reports from other teams started leaking out last night.  Most teams won't announce all their cuts at once; likely in 2-3 waves starting today.  I expect to start seeing some news shortly.

Bills release 6, nobody I think we'd be interested in.

Any surprise cuts or surprise 53 man makes?  Not really a surprise, but I think Shi Smith beats out Andre Roberts--who we signed to the the PR for those duties.  Burris is on the bubble..it wouldn't shock me to see one of the younger safeties take his spot.  Walker makes the 53 until Sam is healthy, I'm pretty sure.  Jordan gets the axe.  Also I'm curious to see who gets TE3.  I think it would have been Ricci, but he's hurt.  I'm not sold on either Thompson or Sullivan...utter JAGS.

And that gives him 2 weeks to get used to his holder, timing with snap, etc.

I noticed 2 things about Zane in preseason.

1.  He seemed to be on the left upright a lot, as if he was pulling the ball.  Was his brain subconsciously trying to protect the injury when it was hardly noticeable?  

2. The injury followed a rain delay.  Was he loosened up properly?

I am on a mission to find out the truth.  I need answers!  I can handle the truth!

 

It was a freak injury.

Do their cuts or announce?  I'm sure they have their list all the way down to a few bubble players already.

Rhule sounds like he knows if Baker goes down.. there is nothing he can do, or maybe its Fitts.

Giants Cut Santoso. So there's a potential solution.

"With unlimited players who could return last season, teams can only designate eight players to return from IR, including any player returning from the practice squad/injured list. Another tweak comes in how long a player must be on the Reserve/Injured List as they must miss four games when in 2021 the time was only three games."

When does the team deem a player as eligible to return and long term IR? At time of placement on the IR or whenever they want?

To do them, I think.

Could potentially inform guys ahead of time, I suppose.

From the same article I linked earlier:

"Just to clarify, one item which was made permanent with the NFL several years ago was teams no longer have to designate a player to return from the Reserve/Injured List at the time they go on the list. Teams do not have to say which players are returning until they begin their 21-day window."

Guessing cuts will wait til after practice at this point, unless some guys aren't on the field
