Released
CB Justin King from the roster

Gone
LB Mario Addison - signed from PS to Washington Redskins active roster

-Two roster moves were made yesterday that left two open roster spots, which is why we added three people and only subtracted one.
-I thought for sure that with Seth Olsen out for awhile and who knows how much longer Joe Reitz is out that Trai Essex would be resigned. I suppose that they are confident that Satele will be healthy and Reitz will be back soon.
-I'm quite shocked that we have added a FB. I didn't think Arians wanted any considering we had 3 in training camp and traded one and released the others.
-NT Martin Tevaseu got carted off the field but he wasn't put on IR so maybe it wasn't that serious. Dixon was signed to be a backup and surprise surprise another former Eagle.
-I also wonder how much time Fili Moala is going to miss. Geathers (cousin to Bengal's Robert Geathers) was signed to the PS last week. Good thing apparantly

I'm a bit interested to see if Hughes can stick. He's not a traditional FB. He is more of a big physical HB. He didn't really perform in college until his last year when he stopped dancing around in the backfield and started running downhill. Hopefully he can learn the system quickly and help us with running between the tackles.
