    I will probably have to update this later in the week, as no teams have made up their practice squads yet. But....as of today, there are 35 Tigers on the active rosters of 22 NFL teams, with 3 more on injured reserve. There were 35 on the opening day rosters last season.

    Kansas City remains LSU North, with 4 this season: Dwayne Bowe, Glenn Dorsey, Travis Daniels and Tyson Jackson. Dallas has 3; Bradie James, Danny McCray and Marcus Spears. Eight different teams have two Tigers each.

    There are 7 rookies on 7 different teams, including IR's: Kelvin Sheppard with Buffalo, Stevan Ridley, New England; Terrance Toliver, Houston; Drake Nevis, Indianapolis; Richard Murphy, Jacksonville; Joseph Barksdale, Oakland; Patrick Peterson, Arizona;

    2010 players not currently on any roster: Robert Royal, Rudy Niswanger, Buster Davis, Randall Gay, Alan Faneca (retired) and Curtis Taylor

    There is at least one active Tiger at every position except tight end and kicker. The most common position is defensive lineman, with 8. There are 5 running backs, with 2 more on IR, and 4 active receivers (plus one on IR).

    Lions not showing the KW signing on their site yet.

    Woods was one of four signed by Seattle today. They released four to make room, including Pep, so that move is a wash. I've updated my OP to reflect this move.

    Jacob Cutrera, LB, is on Jacksonville's practice squad.

    Buffalo had picked up WR Buster Davis, but released him Saturday.

    Didn't mention it in the OP because it looked like their website needed updating, but as of this morning, the Giants are no longer carrying Chad Jones on their PUP list. Did I miss an announcement about him?

    Edit: I see now that Jones was waived/non-football injury over the weekend. The Giants also waived Charles Scott, and for what its worth, waived Ryan Perrilloux, signing him to the practice squad today.
