Who Got Cut & Who Did Not?

CUTS:

Baraka Atkins: DL, Seattle Seahawks

Tanard Davis: DB, Tennessee Titans

William Joseph: DL, Oakland Raiders: Joseph was initially given a roster spot but was cut the following day with the Raiders trading for the Patriots Richard Seymour.

Darrell McClover: LB, Chicago Bears

Santonio Thomas: DL, Cleveland Browns

CUT, BUT MADE A PRACTICE SQUAD:

Brock Berlin: QB, cut by the St. Louis Rams, signed to the Detroit Lions Practice Squad.

Kareem Brown: TE, cut by the NY Jets, signed to the NY Giants Practice Squad.

Darnell Jenkins: WR, cut by the Houston Texans, signed to the Houston Texans Practice Squad.

Lance Leggett: WR, cut by the Cleveland Browns, signed to the Cleveland Browns Practice Squad.

Glenn Sharpe: DB, cut by the Atlanta Falcons, signed to the Atlanta Falcons Practice Squad.

WHO JUST MADE IT?

Spencer Adkins: LB, Atlanta Falcons: Adkins got the call over NFL vet Jamie Winborn who had performed pretty well in the preseason. Adkins probably made it over Winborn for special teams reasons.

Antonio Dixon: DL. Antonio was cut by the Washington Redskins, but was immediately signed by the Philadelphia Eagles roster taking the spot vacated by Quarterback AJ Feeley. .

Orien Harris: DL, Detroit Lions: Orien hadn’t made much noise since the Lions acquired him in trade with the St. Louis Rams for WR Ronald Curry, however on Thursday, he led all lineman with four tackles and a sack.
Not a world-beating performance, but the Lions don’t see a lot of sacks out of their interior linemen.

Bruce Johnson: DB, NY Giants: The Giants waived their seventh round draft pick, CB Stoney Woodson, who reportedly suffered a high ankle sprain.  He was later joined on the waiver wire by fellow corner and draft pick DeAndre Wright, the Giants' sixth rounder this year, who was beaten out by rookie free agent CB Bruce Johnson for a roster spot.

Buck Ortega: TE, New Orleans Saints: The injury to Billy Miller made it a lot easier for Ortega to make the team though he was a member last year and played valuable minutes toward the end of the season.
