\"\"All NFL teams had to reduce their rosters to 53 players by 5:00 Saturday evening, but can’t sign players to their practice squads for a period afterward — as some teams are forced to cut quality players, the “final” roster is subject to a certain amount of churning. As a result the following summary is still only “mostly” final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Players who have been waived are marked like this<\/font><\/strike>, while players who I didn’t predict making the team’s roster are marked in green<\/font>. I’d marked Ryan D’Imperio and Asher Allen with question marks in my original post, as I wasn’t sure either one of them would make the team and didn’t know if they could be signed to the practice squad.<\/p>\n

Notes<\/b>:<\/p>\n

1<\/strong>. I’d assumed that Reisner would be cut, but projected to signing on the practice squad. Cutting Dugan created a slot for him.<\/p>\n

2<\/strong>. I listed aboth Brown and Fusco as practice squad candidates. Rather surprised to see Fusco made the team, based on the reporting about him.<\/p>\n

3<\/strong>. Seth Olsen wasn’t even on my list of practice squad candidates. He must have been doing good work away from the reporters, as I’d barely heard his name until now.<\/p>\n

4<\/strong>. Kevin Williams has been suspended for the first two games of the season<\/a>, and fined another two game cheques. He won’t count against the roster limit until the third game.<\/p>\n

5<\/strong>. Fred Evans was a veteran I didn’t expect to see back on the full roster. I was clearly mistaken.<\/p>\n

6<\/strong>. I’d originally predicted that CB Brandon Burton would be signed to the practice squad, but Jeremy Fowler<\/a> noted that he’d made the regular roster.<\/p>\n

7<\/strong>. Mistral Raymond made enough moves to join the regular season roster (I projected him as a practice squad player).<\/p>\n

8<\/strong>. Jasper Brinkley moved to Injured Reserve: his season is over, and he won’t count against the roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
