There are no surprises in these cuts. Here's a quick breakdown on each player:
OLB Everette Brown - Depth OLB, didn't show enough.
NT Antonio Dixon - Couldn't stay healthy in training camp and didn't show enough in preseason.
QB Dennis Dixon - Still could make the practice squad. Veteran depth.
DL David King - 7th round rookie who didn't flash.
QB GJ Kinne - Could make sense as a practice squad QB. Read more on that here.
OL Matt Kopa - Depth OL.
CB Trevard Lindley - Wasn't good enough and suffered an injury.
WR Ifeanyi Momah - Great size but never stood out. Maybe a practice squad candidate.
WR Will Murphy - The former Oregon WR thanks Chip for the training camp invite.
C Dallas Reynolds - Beat out by Julian Vandervelde for the backup center job.
OLB Adrian Robinson - The Eagles traded Felix Jones for him. Jones was going to be cut anyway. Depth OLB body.
OL Matt Tennant - Depth OL.
DE/OLB Joe Kruger - Seems to have been placed on injured reserve with a "phantom injury". Best case scenario for him. Needs more time to develop his body and his game.
The roster now stands at 62. 9 more cuts need to take place before the deadline tomorrow.
