Cut Down To 75

[bobblehead]

Banjo is going to be difficult to let go. He tackled well in the secondary and was a standout on Special Teams.

#33 Hyde is a player and should be on the 53.

For me Hyde is the surprise of camp. He will play a role this season. He is a football player not an athlete...I like football players, not track stars.

Pease and Pena to the PS? Maybe Gillette but doubtful since Dorsey and Johnson will take the PS WR spots.

I can't see either of them going to the PS, if the Packers felt they had promise would they have been released in the first cut down? Seems like it's generally guys who were on the bubble for the last cutdown that end up on the PS, or bubble players from other teams that the Packers would like to look at.

Or players they're trying to sneak onto the PS, players they know won't make the squad.

Release them early hoping they fall off everyone's radar. Thought of that, could work. Of course, then they take the chance someone decides to release an extra guy and and them to their TC roster, there's still time.

Where's the list? It's more than an hour after the deadline and still nothing. Come on TT, stop puking about cutting guys and give us the info.

Per Silverstein - Richardson, Sherrod, Tretter and Worthy on PUP. Bulaga, Dorsey, Harris and Reed go to IR. Kicker Ramirez released.

That supposedly gets them to 75.

I am unenthusiastic about putting young players on PUP. For most positions, they need a training camp. Can the team really insert Sherrod or Tretter into live fire when they don;t have their timing down?

Well, I suppose the team might need to live with an in-season training camp because they have no better options.

[Smidgeon]

Dorsey to IR? I thought it was a toe injury. Are they just trying to stash him?

They have meetings and individual work while rehabbing. Also, if they are activated, they can fully practice for a couple of weeks without counting against the roster. There is really no down side to putting guys who are not ready on the PUP. They can always be shifted to IR later, and they will almost certainly be more up to speed than a guys off the street if they do activate them.

The report is a hamstring, but either it is a effort to stash him, or they will waive him with an injury settlement. You can't just cut a guy who is injured.

ya, makes sense, all upside. In particular, might as well get those freebie practice weeks if nothing else. But still a tough choice to activate them.

If they IR release him, is he eligible for the PS? He wasn't going to make the 53, so I'm guessing they just stash him for the year on IR.

Possibly, but I think he would still have to wait 4 weeks past what the settlement is for before the Packers could sign him, just like coming back to the active roster. Any other team could sign him after the settlement period.

I think it was his big toe.

Talk about a boring cutdown day.

Dorsey and Reed are waived-injured.
