Wolverines on NFL Practice Squads
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/transactions/
Crable is on New England's Practice squad; Mathews on Chicago's, and Late Round draft pick Stevie Brown was kept by Oakland for their Practice Squad.
Most Practice Squads are full, and I may have missed a Wolverine on the list, so, any others' status known at this time? Dutch on Baltimore's? Ortmann or Moosman, Carlos Brown?
EDIT - appears as if Warren was signed to NYJ's practice squad today, Wiki says so:

I was really hoping Stevie would make the roster after all the good things we were hearing of him from preseason. I get the feeling the Raiders had a tough time cutting him and signing him to the practice squad is a promising sign.

Did anyone hear on D. Warren?

Wiki says Warren "would be signed" to the Jets practice Squad on 9/6/10

PQ hasn't yet been announced on the Jets website (probably focusing on re-signing Revis before PQ decisions), but Coach Ryan had said in a press conference (posted elsewhere) that because Warren had a concussion and wasn't able to play at all in the preseason he probably wouldn't make the team, but he added that "you might want to put a guy like that on your practice squad" (paraphrasing, but close).
Glad to hear about Matthews and Stevie Brown, though hoping for a few more (there's still time), but thrilled to hear about Crable. Didn't know he was still eligible. The Pats kept faith with him as long as they could, but just couldn't get him on the field. Similar situation as Warren's, except that I think Crable's in his third year. [This good news is balanced with the Pats finally cutting Pierre Woods.]

Was he that bad??? Or is he maybe just a victim of being in a career killing, before it starts, city? (Buffalo)

Too many injuries...

Mlive is Reporting that Brandon Minor was signed to the Saints' practice squad

Saints website shows only 7 on their PQ (signed yesterday), so maybe they had to wait to get him down from Chicago to take a look. Maybe Arrington (who made the regular squad this year going on and off their PQ) put in a good word!
September 6th, 2010 at 5:54 PM ^
Saints already tried with Brown and Arrington, it appears, made the roster

That's really good for Warren - show's he worked hard to stick around. Thinking his odds are pretty good to be on a roster by next year.

Still don't see confirmation, but this photo was in the NY Times a few weeks ago, showing his eagerness before the concussion. And unless they gave somebody else his #35 in the meantime, I just saw the number on the back of a player's jersey on the NYC local news broadcast about Revis's re-signing. Hope it was Donovan's back. (No pun intended.) And wouldn't be bad to have Revis as a mentor.

He was only briefly on the Jets practice squad and taken off the same day to make room for others, I assume players in positions of more need. Revis returned, and the Jets already have a deep group in the secondary (some no doubt picked up in case Revis stayed away). Feel really bad for the kid. But he should get another chance sometime. And he can add the NY Times picture to his resume.
On the better news side, Carson Butler was signed to the Titans' practice squad.

yet, but I'd be shocked if he wasn't signed to at least a practice squad. He was very impressive in the preseason and was a very close call on making the Bucs roster.
I thought Dutch looked very good for the Ravens and thought at worst he'd be on a practice squad. He's still unsigned, but if he doesn't get picked up he'll probably try the UFL again.
Jamar Adams hasn't been picked up yet, but I'm thinking someone will sign him to their 53 by the time the season starts, even though he still has practice squad eligibilty.
Ortmann and Moosman probably have the worst chance of sticking anywhere, although the Rams tried out Moos on Sunday, but no word on if they'll sign him.

Leaving school early to be on the "practice squad"?
I thought D. Warran was good in college and never thought he would go undrafted. Who was advising this guy to make such a horrible decision?
September 10th, 2010 at 3:55 PM ^
thats what i said when Warren and Manny went undrafted. Prolly stupid agents who are the mess of college sports.
