Cut Down To 75

[Joemailman]

Teams must be down to 75 by 3:00 PM Tuesday.

WR Ed Williams cut today.

Other Likely cuts?

Tyler Kuder
Lucas Patrick
Beniquez Brown
Jermaine Whitehead
Mitchell Henry (Injury settlement)
Casey Pierce
Harvey Binford
Jamel Johnson
Herb Waters
Jacob Flores
Randall Jette
Warren Gatewood

I'd say that looks like a good list.

Other first-cut candidates:
Derrick Matthews ILB
Demetrius Anderson DL
Kyle Steuck - OL
Alstevis Squirewell - FB

Maybe Dorleant gets IR'd. I haven't read or heard any updates on Elliott's injury. It doesn't seem like the Banjo and Crockett injuries make them IR candidates...

Kuder/Anderson, Patrick, Whitehead, Waters, Squirewell would seem to be leading PS prospects from the group.

How is Ripkowski's knee? They might have to keep Squirewell at least until the last cut.

How many of the DL will they have to keep for the last exhibition game? Daniels, Guion and Clark aren't likely to play. Pennel will probably play a lot.

I agree Squirewell probably makes this cut because of Rip's injury. Tough call though with some of these guys. You'd rather not play guys you know are going to get cut because if they get hurt you'll have to give them an injury settlement.

I'd Steuck and somebody else instead of Kuder and Patrick. I've heard reports that Kuder and Patrick have done well enough that they are PS candidates.

By all accounts, Mortell was doing well enough to warrant a longer look. I wonder if they are letting him catch on with another team looking for a punter?

He has the leg. But he needs hang time.

Yep. No hang time is a bad thing, especially with coverage units that are down a couple of key players and were suspect to begin with. He wasn't going to make it, so time to cut bait.

They may have to trade up to get a punter next year.

mortell was the only name that surprised today.

I am puzzled by Jyrone Elliot's lack of production. I wonder if he just hasn't learned any new moves, or if he's been hurt, or what. I thought the guy had potential to start. But now he might not even make the team.

I can confirm @RobDemovsky's report that TE Kennard Backman (knee) is being waived injured. He was a 6th-round pick in 2015. #Packers

Moss on J. Elliott: Got off to a great start. Maybe stats (not great), I believe in him and what he can do. I’m patient.
