Inching Closer to More Roster Cuts

Aug. 29th - Cut down to 75
Sept. 2nd - Cut down to 53

Last night there were several players that did not play, and when you're not playing in a preseason game, you're in trouble - on the bubble.

Some notable players that did not play against the Saints were: OG Stephen Peterman, QB Drew Henson, QB Matt Baker, WR JR Tolver, LB Carl-Johan Bjork, TE Erik Jensen, and K Mike Vanderjagt.

Henson and Vanderjagt make the roster, but the same cannot be said about the rest of those guys. Most notable is OG Stephen Peterman, a former 3rd round pick. Peterman has been riddled with injuries, and this year it appears that Cory Proctor is poised to beat him out.

Marcus Coleman is going to be suspended for (4) games for violating the leagues illegal substance policy. He's going to be cut.

LB Oliver Hoyte is doing everything possible to stay on the team, he's been a tackling machine, and will at least make the practice squad. WR Miles Austin has done his part as well, and could be on his way to the practice squad as well.

WR Battle: Rector vs. Green
Rector has made some great catches, but he has also dropped a few passes during practice. Its a tight race between Rector and Green for one of the last WR spots. This is too close to call at this point, I honestly don't know which of these two makes the team.
