Cut down day, what Cougars and utes made the cut?

[cougjunkie]

Cougars and Utes that were cut today:

Andrew George from Buffalo
RJ Stanford from Carolina
Fui Vakapuna from Cincinatti
Brett Ratliff in Cleveland
Travis Bright in Dallas
Rey Feinga in Miami
Todd Watkins, Manase Tonga and David Nixon in Oakland
Dallas Reynolds in Philly


That is who I saw after a quick glance, some of these guys may end up on practice squads.

Lots of NFL cuts featuring former BYU and Utah guys:

Travis Bright was cut by Dallas.
Freddie Brown by Minnesota.
Ray Feinga by Miami.
Andrew George by Buffalo.
David Nixon by Raiders.
Todd Watkins by Raiders.
Brett Ratliff by Cleveland.
Dallas Reynolds by Philly.
RJ Stanford by Carolina.
Kelly Talavou by Baltimore.
Manase Tonga by Raiders.
Fui Vakapuna by Cincy.

Also Martail Burnett, Aaron Francisco, and Harvey Unga are all on IR and out for the season.

Some of those are surprising. Especially Nixon and Watkins getting cut. With Schillens hurt and Watkins excellent ST play I thought he'd for sure earn a spot. Nixon too has had another great preseason and camp with the Raiders, but got axed again. Tonga was in a tight competition so his isn't as surprising as it is disappointing. Sucks Fui got cut. Still there are a ton of BYU and Utah players on rosters. I was surprised at how many there are actually.

Didn't Talavou get placed on the IR?

Also, R.J. Stanford was released by the Panthers.

Fui was cut because of a dislocated shoulder the first week of camp. When he clears waivers today he'll be put on season ending IR. It's really too bad because he was looking very good early on, he even punked ReyRey in the Oklahoma drill.

Bengal fans are pissed that Coats stayed on the roster and Chase Coffman was cut. Coats will see time at FB in some packages.

Travis Bright and Dallas Reynolds, and Ray Feinga all signed to practice squads today.

David Nixon signed to the Texans active roster.

Good for Nixon. I've felt he was an NFL backer and it is nice to see him get the shot he deserves.

And the Texans are as close to home as he can get (he's from College Station).

Non-Cougar or Ute, I am really bummed for Will Tukuafu. It sounds like they are wanting him back on the practice squad so at least he is going to get a decent paycheck for a while.

Also I am disappointed Jeremiah Johnson didn't make the Texans roster, he had been having a nice preseason.

Nick Reed was also cut.

Interestingly enough former Beaver Al Afalava was cut as well after starting all season for the Bears in 2009.

yeah. All the fans and coaches are up in Major Wright's Jock here in Chicago. Weird that Al didn't even make the 53 man roster though after starting all last year.

Payback for bailing on the Y on LOI day in 2005. Karma is a beeyatch.

I thought this was as good a thread as any to post updates on BYU players in the pros.

John Beck is now with the Houston Texans.
Fui just signed with the Jets.
