Scarlet Knights in the Show: Preseason Week 4 Recap and Roster Moves

Last week was the fourth and final week of preseason games for the NFL. Not long after those games were completed, players faced final cut-down day, as rosters needed to be trimmed to 53 men on Saturday, September 2. Yesterday, teams began signing some of those released players to their practice squads, or in some cases, claimed players off waivers. A number of former Rutgers football players were affected. Here is the recap from the past week:

George Johnson assisted on 2 tackles, but was released by the Buccaneers.

Carlton Agudosi had 2 catches for 16 yards. He was released by the Cardinals on Saturday, but then singed to Arizona's practice squad on Sunday. Congrats to Carlton on making the practice squad.

Quentin Gause was in on 2 tackles for the Denver Broncos, but was released on Saturday.

Kevin Snyder had 1.5 tackles for the Broncos, but was also released on Saturday.

Leonte Carroo had 1 catch for 12 yards for the Miami Dolphins.

Anthony Cioffi had 3 tackles for the Raiders, but was released on Saturday.

My pick for the standout of the week, Jonathan Freeny had 4 tackles and 6 assists for the New England Patriots, but was released on Saturday.

Steve Longa had 3 tackles and 3 assists for the Detroit Lions.

Andrew Patton (chargers.com)
Andre Patton had 1 catch that lost a yard. He was released by the Chargers on Saturday, but then signed to the practice squad on Sunday. Congratulations to Andre for making the practice squad.

The Ravens cut both Derrick Nelson and Jeremy Zuttah.

Long snapper Andrew DePaola was released by the Buccaneers on Saturday, but was then claimed off waivers on Sunday by the Chicago Bears. Best wishes for Andrew to stick with the Bears.


Offensive lineman Kaleb Johnson was released by the Cardinals.

Rutgers vs. Nebraska Preview: September 23, 2017

Image
The Scarlet Knights take on the Cornhuskers today in Lincoln , Nebraska , in what is the Big Ten opener for both teams. A few hours before game time, Nebraska is an 11 point favorite over visiting Rutgers . In many ways the Cornhuskers season has mirrored that of the Scarlet Knights. Both teams are 1-2, with Nebraska having won a close opener vs. Arkansas State and then having dropped two close games to Oregon and Northern Illinois . Unaccustomed to a 1-2 start, Nebraska fans are calling for the head of Coach Mike Riley, and the school's athletic director was shown the door yesterday. The Rutgers coaches, in their media appearances this week, stressed the importance of continued improvement. Last week's 65-0 blowout victory over Morgan State allowed the Scarlet Knights to send 71 players out to see some action, especially many true and redshirt freshmen who logged their first bits of playing time. Obviously, the most impressive of the freshmen was quarterbac...

Rutgers Media Day Ash Press Conference Highlights

On Sunday, Rutgers head football coach Chris Ash took the podium for his Rutgers Media Day press conference. In what was roughly a twenty-minute update and chat with the media, he covered quite a bit of ground, shedding some light on some new faces that are making an impact, slight changes in look and strategy, and giving an updated timetable on the quarterback decision. On the overall vibe of training camp, Ash feels its been "very productive" and that Rutgers has "improved in all areas of our football team." As importantly, the "overall health is good," in the sense that there haven't been any additional significant injuries in the past week. If the team hadn't improved in all areas something would truly be amiss, so that's expected. I'm stoked to hear that the overall health of the team is good, as that could a big factor in determining the outcome of some of the competitive, but winnable games Rutgers has scheduled earl...
