MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — This week started off so strongly for MTSU football.

When the 53-man roster cuts for the NFL hit our newswires, there was great news for Blue Raiders across the league. Reed Blankenship, as an undrafted free agent, had made the Eagles' roster. Robert Jones was on the Dolphins'. Richie James made the team with the New York Football Giants, Darius Harris broke camp with the Chiefs.

Even among those who were cut, like DQ Thomas with the Jets and Chandler Brewer with the Rams, were brought back as practice squad members.
