Herndon had an excellent rookie year, but missed nearly all of his second season and was disappointing last year until bouncing back with a strong last few games.

Having already cut Kenny Yeboah, this may yet mean that another shoe is set to drop at this position.

We'll update on the full cuts, which are due at the top of the hour, soon.
