Some cuts are deeper than others.
After introducing national audiences to players such as quarterback Brogan Roback, tight end Devon Cajuste, and defensive ends Carl Nassib and Nate Orchard, Tuesday's finale of Hard Knocks with the Cleveland Browns brought the end of the road for many of the season's primary players.
All four were among those cut on an episode featuring roster trimming, the team's final preseason game against the Detroit Lions and linebacker Mychal Kendricks' release.
HBO started with the coaching staff and front office finding out about Kendricks' insider trading charges and even captured offensive coordinator Todd Haley asking general manager John Dorsey if the linebacker was going to jail.
