Patriots' DL Seymour still ailing
Richard Seymour, one of the NFL's top defensive linemen, was placed on the physically unable to perform list by New England on Saturday, meaning he must miss at least the first six games of the regular season.
As is the custom of the secretive coach Bill Belichick, the Patriots did not specify what's wrong with the former all-pro.
The Patriots also cut quarterback Vinny Testaverde, who at 43 would have been entering his 21st season in the NFL.
Chiefs: Former star running back Priest Holmes was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list, guaranteeing that his absence from the game will stretch to almost two years. Holmes, 33, hasn't played since Oct. 30, 2005, when a brutal hit from San Diego's Shawne Merriman aggravated a potentially dangerous spinal condition. The three-time Pro Bowl player spent last season at home in Texas.
Jaguars: Jacksonville did the expected, cutting quarterback Byron Leftwich. The seventh overall pick in the 2003 draft and the Jags' starting quarterback for nearly every game since then when he was healthy, Leftwich was released after losing the starting job to David Garrard.
Lions: Running back Kevin Jones was removed from the physically unable to perform list, setting a day-to-day timetable for his return to the field.
Vikings: Among the Vikings' cuts were two fifth-year veterans: receiver Billy McMullen and running back Artose Pinner.
Buccaneers: Chris Simms, who has struggled to regain his throwing form after missing most of last season with a spleen injury was one of four quarterbacks kept by Tampa Bay.
Jets: Andre Wadsworth's inspirational comeback with the New York Jets ended. The 32-year-old linebacker, who hadn't played in the NFL since 2000 because of several knee injuries, was one of 22 players cut.
Bengals: No. 2 quarterback Doug Johnson was released and replaced by Ryan Fitzpatrick, obtained in a trade from St. Louis.
Eagles: Former Olympic skier Jeremy Bloom was cut by Philadelphia along with Dirk Johnson, the team's punter last season.
Colts: DeDe Dorsey, who entered training camp as the No. 2 running back, was one of more than 20 players cut .
Giants: Lawrence Tynes has beaten free agent Josh Huston for the New York Giants' kicking job for the moment, and safety Will Demps was placed on injured reserve in a pair of somewhat surprising moves. The Giants traded running back Ryan Grant to Green Bay for an undisclosed draft choice. Quarterback Tim Hasselbeck also was cut.
Titans: Tennessee released starting free safety Lamont Thompson and quarterback Tim Rattay among 20 players waived.
Cowboys: Veteran cornerback Aaron Glenn's contract was terminated, and place-kicker Martin Gramatica was put on injured reserve.
Ravens: Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith made the Baltimore Ravens final roster Saturday as a third-string quarterback.
Browns: Quarterback Ken Dorsey was the best-known casualty among the 22 players cut
Raiders: Oakland released third-round pick Quentin Moses, veteran fullback Zack Crockett and free-agent safety Donovin Darius.
