Roster Additions from the Mothership

by bas on Nov 19, 2008 12:49 PM CST

Just in case nobody else noticed, we added 3 players to the 53 man roster and 1 to the practice squad:

Andy Studebaker -- DE (this one we knew about)

Curtis Gatewood -- Linebacker (from the Redskins practice squad)

Jackie Battle -- RB (Moves back up to the 53 man roster)

Antwon Burton -- DT (Some player they want to take a look at. He spent the last 2 years with the Broncos)

Here are the links:

At this point, they seem to be 3 men over the limit on the roster, which probably means that they have not announced some moves to injured reserve. My guess: Turk McBride, Donnie Edwards, and Ricardo Colclough gets cut. But again, they have not been announce, so that is pure speculation.

releases

Turk went to IR, RB Dantrell Savage was released and LB Erik Walden was released

Kinda shocked at them releasing Savage, guess Kevin Robinson will be doing all return duties

The release of Savage

is odd, considering that he took most of the returns last week even though Robinson was active. (Unless Kevin got hurt – I don’t remember anything like that, though).

Also would’ve liked to see Walden play more, because in just a few games he did fairly well on special teams.

I am puzzled at some fo these

Why not release some of the guys like Pat Thomas?

The Kansas City Memorial Hospital opened a new wing this morning that was already filled with 37 Kansas City Chiefs current players. The name of the new wing by the way is “The Chief Wing”. Doctors have strict orders not to allow the Chiefs Strength and Conditioning personnel inside the hospital.
