Wolverines in the NFL Week 3
Would appreciate formatting help btw
| Player | Team | Notes |
| Chad Henne | JAX | Might end up starting for the Jags, due to Bortles being Bortles. |
| Jake Rudock | DET | 8/13 84 yards in his last game. Solid backup for the lions |
| Frank Clark | SEA | Ifedi (0-1 KO loss to Clark) hashed it out, accepted apology, said he knows Frank, is a great dude, who lost his temper. Happens to all of us. We (who were not punched) should all be so forgiving. Or not. |
| Jake Ryan | GB | Last quoted praising their run defense, specifially…24 for 30 with 1 and 2 units on the field in the preseason. Pass defense was 31st last season. Defensively Capers is going to insert a safety who can hopefully be strong against the run, but not be the liability inthe pass game that a LB is. If only there was a player like that in the draft. |
| Kyle Kalis | WAS | Pushing for a backup guard spot, outplaying incumbent A. Kounandjio for 8th OL spot. |
| Deveon Smith | MIA | |
| Ryan Glasgow | CIN | Vet B Thompson was waived last week, so expect Glasgow to fill his role. Last 6 seasons with the Bengals, Thompson had 79 tackles, 3 sacks 7 starts |
| Taco Charlton | DAL | Got into another scuffle with an OL. Jerry Jones was reportedly "smiling" Link to Taco in practice this week. https://sportsday.dallasnews.com/dallas-cowboys/cowboys/2017/08/23/observations-star-de-taco-charlton-making-moves-vs-chaz-green-rookie-wr-makes-play-day |
| Willie Henry | BAL | on the 2nd line DL rotation…behind a very good 1st line. |
| Jake Long | MIN | |
| Jourdan Lewis | DAL | Still limited with his hamstring, question mark vs Raiders. Has yet to play in the preseason. 2 other rookies, Awuzie and Switzer have all missed time. Much is being made about them missing opportunities. Not an unusal problem for rookies as they are not accostomed to an NFL training camp. Of note, Lewis was on the bench a the beginning of last year with a hamstring issue. |
| Jake Butt | DEN | Will start season on PUP, out for 6 weeks. At which point he will exact revenge on Heuerman for the haircut, by taking his job. |
| Jabrill Peppers | CLE | Player (Currie) listed ahead of him on the depth chart was just released. |
| Ben Gedeon | MIN | Vikings are excited about this rookie class. Again Gedeon will likely see starters snaps this season for the Vikings. |
| Dymonte Thomas | DEN | 3 tackles, 1 FF, 1 FR vs GB. In 64 defensive snaps. No word yet on his likelihood of making the roster. |
| Fitzgerald Toussaint | PIT | Starting in place of Bell, who is holding out. Connor had a big game last week, still behind Fitz on the latest depth chart. It is a crowded backfield, Bell and Connor are considered locks to make the roster, the other 2 backs return kicks as well. Fitz has tenure and familiarity on his side. He did get an early yank after starting vs the Falcons...seen by some reporters as "saving him" for the regular season. |
| Brandon Graham | PHI | Questionable tonight vs Dolphins with tricep injury. |
| Tom Brady | NE | Greatest living American. Wife still hot. |
| Alan Branch | NE | 17 pressures from 0 tech spot, led league last year (next player had 10) hope he can improve their pass rush this year |
| David Harris | NE | All 3 NE Wolverines may be on campus during/after the game vs the Lions. |
| Devin Funchess | CAR | Starter this season, having a rough preseason, losing faith of fans, maybe teammates(?) but not coaches(yet) Fumbled on his only catch last week. Former veteran teammate said of him "there's no dog in this guy" Not much of a surprise given his last year in AA, that most attributed to him checking out. |
| Amara Darboh | SEA | behind a few people on the depth chart, could rise if(when) injuries occur. Almost (possibly) concussed in lasyt preseason game |
| Matt Wile | ARI | In a fight for the punter job…had a nice squib last week. (ST news is not thrilling) |
| Delano Hill | SEA | Mentioned as a CB…I think this is a typo. He has the speed, not sure about the hips. Prodcutive in camp, will contribute this year. |
| Chris Wormley | BAL | |
| Patrick Omameh | JAX | Likely starter, but poor preseason might see him on the bench. |
| Jarrod Wilson | JAX | 6 tackles and 1 INT vs TB. |
| Jehu Chesson | KC | 13 Offensive snaps, 5 ST snaps in preseason game 2 |

FWIW, Jake Long is retired.
Appreciate the update though!
August 24th, 2017 at 1:24 PM ^
Could just replace his slot with Taylor Lewan or Michael Schofield who were not included on the list.
August 24th, 2017 at 1:30 PM ^
but there was no substantive new about them in the last couple days.
August 24th, 2017 at 1:36 PM ^
I assumed there was something I was missing because it seems like you put a lot of thought into putting it together. The Tom Brady update was solid.
August 24th, 2017 at 1:37 PM ^
thanks for putting this together & sharing!

struggled at LG once again. Teams have figured out his weaknesses and attack him by getting down low on him. Glasgow, for whatever reason, can't compensate and is struggling in the preseason. He's really tall for a OG and it's tough for him to roll his hips to explode onto the DL. Once Decker is healthy, the Lions might simply move Greg Robinson to LG.

Channing Stribling still sits 4th on the Browns CB depth chart but did see significant playing time Monday night against the Giants and held his own against the Giants 3rd team O. I've heard positive reports on him via Twitter during practice but if he's going to make the team he's going to need to move up to 3rd string at least. This Saturday he'll get a chance to play more against a strong Tampa Bay O so he should get some chances to shine.
Peppers is flat out kiling it here in Cleveland. Would not surprise me in the least to see him in the mix for Defensive Rookie of the Year. I was at the game Monday and the Browns had him lined up as a one high safety a LOT with 10 guys down in the box meaning if he doesnt make a tackle it's a TD. And twice in the game it was JP vs a Giant with nothing behind him but grass and twice he put the player on the ground.
Just like he did all of last year.
August 24th, 2017 at 2:05 PM ^
Agree. He has amazing techinque when in space. He closes fast, but under control and is such a sure tackler.
It is amazing how people here went from WTF are we doing drafting him in the 1st to wondering how nobody took him sooner. He has opened eyes of everyone in the local media and fans.
August 24th, 2017 at 1:31 PM ^
Amazing that Leon Hall, Alan Branch, and David Harris are still in the league. Never would have thought LaMarr Woodley would be the first of those 4 out of the league.
August 24th, 2017 at 1:35 PM ^
Ben Braden was camping with the Jets, right?
August 24th, 2017 at 1:37 PM ^
Braden, Kalis (Redskins), and Magnuson (49ers) are trying to make the final cuts.
August 24th, 2017 at 1:39 PM ^
thanks - I thought Mags was out there somewhere too but couldn't remember which team.
August 24th, 2017 at 1:44 PM ^
I believe teams have to cut to 75 players about a week from now. Team then have to cut to final 53-man roster a week before Opening Weekend.
I doubt Braden makes it, but Magnuson and Kalis have a chance.
August 24th, 2017 at 2:16 PM ^
There's no intermediate cut day anymore. September 2nd rosters have to be trimmed to 53, no requirements to cut players prior to that.
August 24th, 2017 at 2:17 PM ^
I think they got rid of the initial cut due to teams not having enough non-starters to play in the 4th preseason game.
August 24th, 2017 at 1:41 PM ^
August 24th, 2017 at 1:51 PM ^
that was tongue in cheek...
or with Clark - Fist in Cheek.

Still battling for a roster spot witht the Ravens after two years on practice squad
August 24th, 2017 at 2:24 PM ^
Didn't do much at RB but had a 24-yard kickoff return against the Falcons. Plus an 8-yard catch on his only target. Good to know he's showing stuff versatility elsewhere if/when the young[er] guns get more time at RB.
August 24th, 2017 at 1:55 PM ^
I read Deveon Smith as Missing In Action at first. Why no update? Injured?
August 24th, 2017 at 2:47 PM ^
August 24th, 2017 at 3:33 PM ^
Safe to say that Jabrill is the starter
August 24th, 2017 at 4:06 PM ^
August 24th, 2017 at 5:22 PM ^
be on the PUP this year..they expected it when they drafted him. They expect him to compete for the job next season.
August 24th, 2017 at 5:31 PM ^
In fact, he's the only one there. Since they didn't put him on IR, they may be hoping he'll be able to play sometime this season or be able to put him on the practice squad.
