NC State’s NFL Roster Bubble Watch

Published

on

There is only one week left in the 2019 NFL Preseason, and quite a few former NC State players have been waived, claimed, or are sitting on a roster bubble spot.

As I reported yesterday, former Wolfpack Safety Josh Jones was released by the Packers, and not claimed on waivers, making him a free agent. Jones was drafted by Green Bay in 2017. He will surely find another NFL home soon.

Former Running Back Matt Dayes was waived by the Saints with an injury designation. He cleared through waivers, and is now on the IR. Dayes was drafted in the 7th round by the Browns in 2017. He played in all 16 games, returning 18 kickoffs. Dayes was then signed to the 49ers Practice Squad last year, and eventually was called up, seeing action in 7 games on special teams. He was signed to his 3rd team in three years in May, joining the Saints.

Former Wide Receiver Stephen Louis, who signed with Houston as an undrafted free agent this offseason, has been cut by the Texans. Louis has 3 receptions for 24 yards in Week 1 of the preseason.

Former Offensive Lineman Tyler Jones was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Jets this offseason, but was waived after not seeing the field in the first preseason games. The Bronco’s quickly picked him up, but his spot on Denver’s 53-man roster are far from certain.

Former Defensive End Kentavius Street missed all of last season recovering from ACL surgery, but that didn’t stop San Francisco from drafting him in the 4th round of the 2018 Draft. He was considered by many to be on the roster bubble heading into the 2019 season, but news broke yesterday that Street will likely be headed to the Injured Reserve, because he is having another arthroscopic knee surgery on Friday.

Former NC State Linebacker Germaine Pratt is going to be staying in Cincy, signing a 3-year contract with the Bengals worth $21 million.

The Bengals then trolled Hill, asking when the head was getting shaved.
