Today all NFL teams had to get their training camp rosters down to 85 from the camp maximum of 90 players. The roster was already one player short because of placing kick returner Jakeem Grant Sr. on injured reserve on August 10 without any roster replacement.
The center position took two huge hits this week as starter Nick Harris went down on the second play of the preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday night. Four days later, seventh-round draft pick Dawson Deaton suffered a torn ACL that will sideline him for the season.
Today, both players were added to IR which made for two fewer decisions for the coaching staff.
