After releasing eight players Monday morning, the team has released three more players following the team’s afternoon practice. They are:
OT Anderson Hardy
CB Kyler McMichael
K Matthew Wright
Hardy ran third-team right tackle throughout training camp. To his credit, he was healthy and available for each practice and all three preseason games. But undersized for the position, he struggled mightily in pass protection during practices and during the game. He graded out as one of the NFL’s worst offensive tackles in the preseason.
McMichael’s release was reported earlier in the day, though the team presumably kept him for Monday’s practice given the injuries to Joey Porter Jr.
