Jets make early cuts, no surprises

Jets Blog | ESPN New York — The anticipated bloodshed started early Friday morning in Florham Park, N.J., where the New York Jets started paring their roster from 75 to 53. They have until 6 p.m. Saturday to complete the task. Not one of the early cuts was a surprise. To me, the most interesting bubble players are WR David Clowney, RB Danny Woodhead and RB Chauncey Washington. Actually, Woodhead probably moved off the bubble after receiving Rex Ryan's blessing Thursday night. Clowney, I'm told, is a near lock to make the team. Washington, who did some nice things in the preseason, appears to have survived the day. Satur...

Winners, losers in the preseason

Jets Blog | ESPN New York — One last look back at the preseason that was: THREE PLAYERS WHO HELPED THEMSELVES • FB John Conner.

It took only three training camps, but the former No. 1 pick finally started to show some promise. He went from a marginal player to an important backup. &bul...

  • Belichick on Lewis, Ohrnberger & Brown New England Patriots Blog | ESPN Boston Patriots coach Bill Belichick held his standard day-after-game conference call with reporters this afternoon (5 p.m.). Even after roster is set, expect movement. Belichick said the team will make its decisions to trim the roster to 53 players by Saturday’s deadline, and then put together the practice squad by Sunday.

  • Veteran OL Ghiaciuc released by Pats New England Patriots Blog | ESPN Boston Veteran offensive lineman Eric Ghiaciuc was released today, the Patriots announced. Ghiaciuc, who had the most NFL experience in the battle for the backup center/guard job, was a longshot to make the 53-man roster. The competition for the top center/guard backup spot is one of the final roster decisions the Patriots figured to be evaluating Thursday night against the Giants. Second-year players Ryan Wendell and Rich Ohrnberger and rookie Ted Larsen are the top candidates. Ohrnberger, the 2009 fourth-round draft choice, started at right guard in the preseason finale.
