Rufus T Firefly Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Right, but who's the third? Wait, don't tell me... Brandyn "YoYo" Thompson? There is no third. 2 players went from the PS to the active roster, 1 was signed to the PS. Another PS spot should be open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonniey Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Davis and Williams... :kickcan: What they were cut? I assume that since they were suspeneded they still remain on the roster and we just can't move them onto IR (especially if they are not injured). So the question still is who was cut.

I assume that since they were suspeneded they still remain on the roster and we just can't move them onto IR (especially if they are not injured). So the question still is who was cut. According to the WP article I read they are not counted on the roster during their suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 They are suspended and we get roster exemptions, just like we did with Buchanon. They are not cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
