NFC Notes: Cardinals, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants, & Redskins

Cardinals

• A few notable roster cuts in Josh Weinfuss‘ 53-man roster projection for the Cardinals include DL Red Bryant and LB Shaq Riddick.

Cowboys

• In Todd Archer’s 53-man roster projection, the Cowboys keep three running backs with Lance Dunbar heading to the PUP list and sixth-round pick Darius Jackson being the odd-man out.
• Archer has the Cowboys keeping four tight ends, not including sixth-rounder Rico Gathers.

Eagles

• Phil Sheridan’s 53-man roster projection has the Eagles keeping four running backs — Ryan Mathews, Darren Sproles, Wendell Smallwood, and Byron Marshall — with Kenjon Barner being on the chopping block.

Giants

Redskins

• ESPN’s John Keim has the Redskins keeping three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster including rookie Nate Sudfeld.
