Bubble he was on burst early Saturday. Had his moments during camp, but ceiling was too low. |
TE |
Mike McNeill |
Waived/Injury Settlement |
Position was loaded, and preseason knee injury effectively ended his chances. |

Derek Dennis |

Had trouble moving up the depth chart at what turned into a relatively deep position. |
G |
Chris Scott |
Released |

Charlotte native impressed many, but this spot goes to Ben Jacobs. |

Toss up between Allen and Glanton for a practice squad spot. |
