NFL Roster Cuts: Lions Release Vinny Ciurciu

According to Kevin Seifert on the ESPN NFC Blog, the Lions have released LB Vinny Ciurciu

I think with how well Landon Johnson has played, this shouldn't be a huge surprise.  I thought that Ciurciu may have shown enough to be considered dependable depth and a good special teamer, but there are not many spots to go around.  I do believe that Ciurciu was hurt in the Buffalo game as well, which may have contributed to the decision.

The fifth-rounder out of Eastern Illinois is expected to land on the Bengals’ practice squad if he clears waivers.

Bengals released LB Abdul Hodge.

It’s a surprise as Hodge has provided the Bengals with solid depth in the middle and consistent special teams value. He’ll turn 28 on Thursday and can still help a team.

Cowboys waived CB/KR Bryan McCann.

McCann was impressive on returns during exhibition action. The Cowboys are also high on his ball skills, but they simply ran out of roster space for the undrafted rookie out of SMU.

I am glad that it seems like Johnson made the team

Not surprized by this at all.

Yeah, I wasn't all that impressed by Vinny

I always think of that TD he let in during the Browns game.

RIP Robyn Bailey 1961 - 2010. I love you mum.
