Workout Report for Tuesday 9/6

by James Layton

It was a busy day for tryouts around the league. Thirty-two players had tryout with two players getting visits. Among those players four were signed to Practice Squads.

Something to remember is how important these workouts are for players, even if they don’t get a contract right away. The more the more type they get out there better. These workouts are even more important for the teams, it helps there pro scouting department to be able to put a short list together for the Coaches and GM to be able to sign a player if an injury happens or poor output from a position group.
