This past Tuesday was the annual NFL cutdown day, where teams have to trim their preseason rosters down to 53 players ahead of Week One of the regular season. With that, several Kentucky players were cut. However, there were 16 former Wildcats that did make NFL teams — which was great to see.
It was also nice to see three former Wildcats who were cut make the practice team on Thursday. Darian Kinnard, Lynn Bowden, and Tashawn Manning all returned to their respective teams from the preseason.
Bowden is on the New Orleans Saints practice squad.
