Roster News: First wave of cuts includes Cooper, Garcia, Johnson and Flowers

Manish Mehta from the New York Daily News has provided the details of the first few cuts:

DL Xavier Cooper
FB Dimitri Flowers
WR Charles Johnson

In related news, he also reports that Jermaine Kearse may not be ready for opening day. He is dealing with an abdominal issue.

None of these are major shocks, although each would have been holding out some hope of being on the 53 before last night's game. Flowers could land on the practice squad if he doesn't get claimed.

UPDATE: NJ.com's Darryl Slater also reports that offensive linemen Gino Gradkowski, Antonio Garcia and Darius James have been cut too.

UPDATE #2 Connor Hughes from the Athletic reports that Obum Gwacham is unsurprisingly also cut.

Here's the updated state of the roster:



Color coding is as follows:

Green - Players we assume are locks to be on the 53

Yellow - Players who we assume will be cut

Red - Players who have been confirmed as cut or waived/injured

Pink - Players who are suspended on opening day

Blue - PUP list (Rontez Miles is the only eligible player)
