It is also worth noting that linebacker Ben Gedeon was still on the Physically Unable to Perform List as of the roster deadline. As a result, he has gone onto the reserve/PUP list for the regular season, meaning that he will miss the first six regular season games at a minimum.
That’s a look at how the first 53-man roster of the year shakes out, folks! What do you think? And remember, teams can now start claiming players on waivers, so by this time tomorrow the 53-man roster will already see some changes.
