Pre-Season News/Injuries/Notes

I think teams only had to get to 75 today. There's still time.

It's still hard to believe they found 10 or so players worse than him to boot.

Maybe they're trying to boost ratings for the 4th preseason game that no one ever watches?

Andre Brown suffered a broken leg.

Andre Brown suffered a broken leg.

Terrible pre-season for the Giants, losing both Browns -- Stevie & Andre. Andre said tonight his leg only has a tiny crack, so maybe there's hope.

[Friarfan]

Andre Brown suffered a broken leg.

So David Wilson's only drawback (losing the goalline duties to brown) is gone. For those drafting this weekend, do you consider Wilson a first-rounder now?

I would say a very early two. I cant really justify him over

Adrian Peterson
Jamaal Charles
LeSean McCoy
Doug Martin
C.J. Spiller
Ray Rice
Trent Richardson
Arian Foster
Matt Forte
Reggie Bush
Marshawn Lynch
Alfred Morris

[Trautdiggity]

I think the Giants rely more on the passing game with Brown out. Wilson will get more looks and some GL carries but I agree with Hammer, not a first rounder. Definite bump up though.

I'm interested to see who moves up the ladder. Scott is another small back who can't block, Torain is toast and Cox who is physically the best fit, is very raw. Could they be making calls (McGahee?)

Yeah, I agree, however in a non-ppr I consider him over Bush

I'm sure they'll be watching the WW very closely this weekend. McGahee would be a huge stretch since he hasn't practiced at all this pre-season.

Chargers released LT Max Starks. King Dunlap will protect Rivers' blind side. God help us.

Prediction: JJ Watt will be brought up on murder charges after killing Rivers next Monday night.

[Erik]

Packers release Alex Green.

[Erik]

Chiefs release Tony Moeaki.
49ers release Austin Collie, Kasim Osgood and Lavelle Hawkins.
NY Daily News reports that Rex Ryan and the Jets GM now agree that Geno Smith should start over Mark Sanchez.
Giants release Ramses Barden.
Ravens release Bobby Rainey and Tandon Doss.
Packers release Vince Young.
Gronkowski stays off reserve/PUP, which means the Pats expect him to play before Week 6.
Texans release Deji Karim, giving Cierre Wood the #3 RB job.
Bucs put Lawrence Tynes on the reserve/non-football illness list. Rian Lindell will kick for them this year.

Steelers cut Jonathan Dwyer.
Chargers cut Robert Meachem.
Giants cut David Carr.
Chiefs cut Shaun Draughn.
Seahawks cut Brady Quinn.
Mohammed Massaquoi cut again, this time by the Jets.

[revo]

The Dwyer cut was a bit of a shock, considering how thin the Steelers are at RB with Bell still hurt. Apparently they were too fed up with his poor work ethic.


Some other notable drops:
Broncos cut Ryan Lilja
Panthers cut WR David Gettis & QB Jimmy Clausen
Saints release Jim Leonhard & Courtney Roby
Bills cut QB Thaddeus Lewis, leaving just the injured EJ Manuel and some guy named Jeff Tuel at QB
Bengals release QB John Skelton
Jets cut Greg McElroy
