As the NFL’s roster reshuffling period comes to a close ahead of the season opener, we can see how the dust has settled and which former Virginia Cavaliers managed to hang onto a spot on an NFL roster.
This season, seven former ‘Hoos will be on a team’s Week 1 53-man roster: Morgan Moses, Rodney McLeod, Brent Urban, Juan Thornhill, Olamide Zaccheaus, Bryce Hall, and rookie Dontayvion Wicks.
A few other Cavaliers of note still hold places in the league: Jelani Woods is on the short-term IR and will likely return to the active roster after a few weeks, rookie Anthony Johnson is on the Saints practice squad, and both Joe Reed and Ra’Shaun Henry were placed on season-ending IR after clearing injury waivers.
