NFL Roster Moves Impact Former Scarlet Knights

On Saturday, all NFL teams were required to reach the magic number of 53, which is the maximum number of players permitted on a team roster during the regular season. The regular season kicks off this coming Thursday when the Carolina Panthers travel to the Mile-High City to take on the Denver Broncos.

This was not just a tough week for the Scarlet Knights still playing with a block R on their helmets. It was also a bad week for the undrafted rookies from Piscataway hoping to find a home on an NFL roster. All were waived by their teams, and the only rookie still on a squad is 3rd round draft pick Leonte Carroo.
