After a flurry of weekend activity during NFL cutdown times, looks like nearly 20 former UW players made it on active 53-man rosters.
Longtime Huskies sports information director Jeff Bechtold compiled the list:
1. Budda Baker, Arizona
Role: Won’t start, but should play a ton at free safety and nickel cornerback.
2. Desmond Trufant, Atlanta
Role: Resumes top cornerback status; on verge of joining NFL’s elite cover men.
3. Shaq Thompson, Carolina
Role: Expect an uptick in snaps, staying in on third downs, as starting outside linebacker.
