The above list contains 53 players that were kept, and 29 players that were cut. I placed six people (represented by a "*") on the practice squad. Here is a list of people that did not appear on the roster due to injuries (note: some of these are also injury projections. i.e., DeMario Minter is not on the PUP right now.)

Injured Reserve:
Matt Stewart
Jerome Jackson

Physically Unable to Perform List:
LeCharles Bentley
Willie McGinest
DeMario Minter

NFL Suspended List:
Ryan Tucker

One more note: Almost every time I make my first list, I count how many names are on my roster and find out that I had too many people. When I counted my original list to myself, I had 56 people making the team. My final three roster moves were cutting Rob Smith, Chase Pittman, and Mike Adams. All three moves could change in next week's edition if there are further updates on the health of Eric Steinbach, Orpheus Roye, and Gary Baxter. If you have any comments or suggestions on this list, please let me know.
