6 undrafted rookies with Alabama football roots survive NFL cuts

Two wide receivers who caught 14 passes apiece for Alabama last season are among the undrafted rookies who survived the massive NFL cuts on Saturday, when teams reduced their preseason rosters to the league's regular-season limit.

More than 1,000 players were waived or released since the preseason closed on Thursday night, and the action isn't over yet as teams will compare the new free agents with the players on their rosters during the night. With the waiver-claiming deadline arriving at 11 a.m. CDT Sunday, more roster changes will follow.

For now, though, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Robert Foster, Washington Redskins wide receiver Cam Sims and four other undrafted rookies with Alabama roots are on NFL regular-season rosters.
