It took big helpings of injuries and fail, but Adams has finally made the roster and Putz is gone.

Those who have been longing to see safety Jamar Adams on the 53-man roster have gotten their wish. Adams was signed from the practice squad and tight end Jeb Putzier was released to clear a spot.

With backup C.J. Wallace out with a hamstring injury and Jordan Babineaux already playing a role as the fourth cornerback in the dime package, the club was down to starter Deon Grant and Brian Russell at safety.

That's 2 UFAs and 6 of 7 draft picks on the roster from the 2008 draft. Yes, Coutu counts.
