Las Vegas Outlaws Head Coach Jim Criner complied with
the XFL’s roster mandate of 62 active players by 6:00
a.m. PT Monday by waiving four individuals and placing
four others on the league’s Reserve – Injured list.
Those waived today include former Nebraska LB Troy
Dumas, former Miami Hurricane RB Carlo Joseph, DT Bryant
Shaw, and longtime NFL WR Cedric Tillman, a Henderson
resident who had been out of professional football for
three seasons.
The Outlaws also placed four players on the league’s
Reserve – Injured list, including former BYU CB Brian
Gray (hamstring), LB Julius Jackson (ankle), OT Mark
Nori (knee) and DT Tom Tovo (knee). These players are
unable to play in the XFL during the 2001 season, with
the Outlaws retaining their rights for 2002. Should
these Reserve – Injured individuals return this
season, they would re-enter the league’s active player
pool through the normal waiver process.
The Outlaws return to a normal practice schedule on
Monday, with two-a-day sessions at Sam Boyd Stadium at
9:30 and 3:00 each day this week through Friday.
Saturday’s scrimmage is closed to the public and
media, while on Sunday, January 21, XFL teams must
reduce their active rosters to 55 players. The Outlaws
and their seven XFL brethren cut down to the final
45-man roster (38 active/7 practice squad) on January
28.
