As NFL training camps near completion, several Minnesota Golden Gophers are facing uncertain futures. Danny Striggow has been placed on injured reserve for the Jaguars, while Jamison Geers's chances of making the Cardinals' roster have dwindled to virtually zero due to injury. Others, like Jack Gibbons with the Cardinals and Rashod Bateman of the Ravens, appear positioned to maintain their roster spots despite varying circumstances. The final preseason games will precede the crucial roster cuts by August 30.
