Jon Toth, Justin Rigg among former Wildcats cut by NFL teams on Tuesday

Unfortunately, Lynn Bowden wasn’t the only former Kentucky Wildcat cut by an NFL team ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.

By 4:00 p.m. EST, all 32 franchises were required to cut their rosters down to 53 players. Bowden, who was a member of the Miami Dolphins during the preseason, was one of the most notable names released across the league. Another pair of one-time ‘Cats were also cut on Tuesday: C Jon Toth (Washington Commanders) and TE Justin Rigg (Cincinnati Bengals).

Toth (2012-2017) is one of the greatest centers to ever come through the Kentucky program, recording 48 consecutive starts from his redshirt sophomore to senior season.
