The National Football League can be a cruel business, as several players experienced this weekend with rosters being trimmed to 53.

Unfortunately, local products from Arizona and Arizona State were not immune to business side of the game.

ASU cuts

Kerry Taylor (Cardinals), Colin Parker (Cardinals) Gerell Robinson (Broncos), Brandon Magee (Cowboys), Lawrence Guy (Colts), Garth Gerhart (Packers), Deveron Carr (Buccaneers), Rashad Ross (Titans), Ryan Torain (Giants) and Brandon Smith (Packers).

Magee has since been claimed off of waivers by the Cleveland Browns, while Carr and Ross were signed to the practice squads of the teams that initially released them.

Taylor, who was let go by Bruce Arians and Co. Saturday, was also signed to the Cardinals’ practice squad Monday.

UA cuts

Spencer Larsen (Buccaneers), Ricky Elmore (Redskins), Colin Baxter (Chargers), Trevin Wade (Browns), Mike Thomas (Cardinals), Dan Buckner (Cardinals), Fendi Onobun (Bears), Matt Scott (Jaguars) and David Douglas (Buccaneers).

Scott and Onobun were signed to their teams’ respective practice squads.

D’Aundre Reed (Vikings) and Chris Gronkowski (Chargers) were also waived/put on IR by their respective teams.

Onubun was also later signed to Chicago’s practice squad.
