I know there’s been some “Whoa, they kept 11 DL” banter. For context, the Cowboys also kept 11.

The Eagles have 13.

I tried getting that Chase Young update, but Rivera again went full Heisman with his non-answer. Young (Stinger) met with a doctor on Friday to determine when he could resume contact. Rivera gave the same answer after the preseason game.

When discussing Tyler Larsen and Alex Armah being cut, both Martin Mayhew and Ron Rivera both remind everyone “it’s a fluid situation.”
Folks: Those two will be back. Armah will have a role and they like Larsen as a backup.

The commanders have guaranteed $150,000 of Mason Brooks’ 2023 salary, which equates to about 13 game checks on the practice squad. In conjunction with his $35,000 signing bonus and strong summer performance, he is a lock for the practice squad (numbers from over the cap). https://t.co/U8iXp6uCel

The Raiders released Cam Sims. Huh.

Commanders stole John Ridgeway last year… its time to steal another. #HTTC https://t.co/tb185xKMkv

Why settle for sure hands mediocre Milne who catches inside the 10 & goes nowhere when we could have better? #HTTC Just saying… https://t.co/C7DDH1Xrae

As the kicker carousel continues to spin: The #Broncos officially are releasing Brett Maher after trading for Wil Lutz, per source.

After Colt McCoy was released on Monday, it looks like the #BirdGang will roll into Week 1 with a QB they just acquired or a rookie! No, for real, that’s what’s happening:#NFL #NFLKickoff pic.twitter.com/wnD3oNYAWy

There will about 1,200 roster moves across the league today. How do #NFL teams track all of the transactions? pic.twitter.com/bXL73CaWJF

From @NFLTotalAccess: In the end, #Colts RB Jonathan Taylor wasn’t traded. Which means this saga isn’t close to over. pic.twitter.com/VxwuV6spqE

Update: #Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson cut his own son, Josh.

Josh, listed at Tight End on the team and he was let go during the final 53-man cutdowns.

Tough business…https://t.co/bjoFVxxjqh pic.twitter.com/kafxDzmh5E

By the virtue of landing on the reserve/did not report list, the Chiefs now can withhold additional game checks from Chris Jones after he turns, if they use a roster exemption on him. Which could cost him another $2.2 million.

He’s approaching $2 million in fines.
