Salukis in the NFL

Just watched Chase Allen and the Dolphins.  Chase is in no danger of not making this roster.  Is still listed as second rotation at the MIKE.  He did come in at the WILL a handful of times in the first half.  A wrinkle in a package I haven't seen the Dolphins play before this season.  He was in the first rotation on K, KR, P, PR, XP, FG, and BFG.  Did a good job.  Good special teamer.  Now that's he's a second year player, really looks like he belongs in the league.

ESPN came out with their projections for the 53 man roster for each NFL team.  Ryan Neal (Falcons), Craig James (Vikings) and MyCole Pruitt (Texans) were not projected to make their respective teams -- at least not the 53.  We can always hope for the practice squads.  They did project Chase Allen (Dolphins) to make the 53.  But we all knew that.

And talk about no respect.  Ryan Neal was not even mentioned by the Salukis as currently being in an NFL camp on their game notes.  Not to worry Ryan, we on the Saluki-Insider board know and are following and are rooting for you.

Nice blurb about Chase Allen and who the Dolphins should keep, "Who besides Chase Allen? The Dolphins need more depth at linebacker. Allen has clearly emerged as the fourth option behind starters Kiko Alonso, Raekwon McMillan and Jerome Baker."

If MyCole Pruitt (Texans) doesn't have a huge final game of the preseason, then Chase will probably be the only Saluki in the NFL.  Ryan Neal (Falcons) and Craig James (Vikings) are definitely on the outside looking in.  

Atlanta Falcons just announced they have cut Ryan Neal.

Minnesota Vikings have cut Craig James.

MyCole Pruitt was NOT on the cut list for the Houston Texans.  WAY TO TO MYCOLE.  So he and Chase Allen (Dolphins) made the 53 man roster.  Let's hope Craig James and Ryan Neal can get on some practice squad.

Ryan Neal was signed today to the Falcon's practice squad.  Not too bad.

Well that didn't take long, after making the Houston Texans 53 man roster yesterday,  MyCole Pruitt was waived today.  

I was looking at the waiver wire for someone and I came across MyCole Pruitt's name.  He was signed by the Texans to their practice squad.  Congrats to MyCole.

MyCole Pruitt just signed by the Tennessee Titans, and assigned to their active roster.

Nice article on MyCole Pruitt:   https://www.titansonline.com/news/new-titans-te-mycole-pruitt-aims-to-help-ease-loss-of-a-player-he-s-always-admir

I tuned into the Dolphin game tonight to watch Chase Allen.  I see that he's been put on IR.  Too bad.

I was nosing around the transaction wire and see that Craig James has been signed to the 53 man roster for the Vikings.  Congrats!
