Kyle Brindza won the kicking job in Tampa Bay, while Michael Williams made the 53-man roster for the Patriots. Additionally, Mohammed Seisay was placed on IR by the Seahawks yesterday.
- Jarryd Hayne, the former rugby player who spurned the Lions' offer earlier in the year, made the 49ers roster yesterday. He seems pretty excited to try this whole football thing out:
IT ALWAYS WORKS OUT! I thank GOD for WHAT HE has done and going to do on this incredible journey!! I'm on the 53 MAN ROSTER FOR THE #49ers.
