Figure I’d start a new thread to track the Coogs in the NFL, posted this in the other thread last night:
As far as where everyone sits:
Secure: Keenum, Sims, Hayden, Roberts, Jackson III, Bowser, Mbu, H. Wilson (IR to start the season)
Ward may be on the outside as the Eagles have a lot of talent at WR. My guess is he goes to the practice squad
Ayers may be back on the practice squad due to an injury in the preseason, and more talent at WR for the Steelers this year. Possibility they keep him as their punt returner.
McCloskey has a decent chance at making the squad as the backup FB as the starter has been hurt this preseason.
Malveaux probably showed enough to be kept on the practice squad somewhere
Mathews may not be able to go back on the practice squad, but I’m not sure the Packers have him in their plans
B.Wilson was activated for the last game and I think he starts the season on the Browns roster
Hightower is projected by some to be the 4th safety for the Colts
McDonald won’t make a roster; not sure if Buffalo would keep him on the practice squad
Leone was in a battle and may not have won the job. Tough to tell.
Farrow’s injury really hurt his chances. Best chance is either IR or practice squad
Update: As of Saturday at 4:30 pm
Howard Wilson CLE was placed on the PUP list and will be eligible to come back between Weeks 6-12
Good to see Farrow get picked back up. Seems like a good insurance policy in case their RBs don’t work out.
So, McDonald, Hightower, Leone, and McCloskey were the only ones that didn’t get picked up.
Arizona just cut Leone’s competition today so they must not have been real impressed with their options. I thought Leone did well, but he struggled with kicking FGs and I think the Cards are looking for someone who can do both. I imagine Leone will head back to the CFL.
Kind of surprised on Hightower; he had a good preseason with the Colts so hopefully he gets picked up somewhere.
