Kyle Richardson writes a feature on Kenwin Cummngs, the guy the team just brought up from the p-squad.

“The real good thing about being on the practice squad,” Cummings said, “is you’re going against our No. 1 offense. You’re going against the best. You’re getting the best practice you can get, you’re getting the best look you can get. That helps so when you do get pulled up, you’ve been doing it every day, going against the No. 1 offense every day. It’s not going to be that big of a deal.”

Cummings’ last game action was in the final preseason game against the Eagles when he grabbed seven tackles and a sack of speedy quarterback Michael Vick. A workhorse since training camp, No. 54 feels he’s continued to improve on several areas of his game.

“I feel like overall I’ve gotten better, better on my feet. I’m able to move and cover guys better,” he said. “I feel a lot lighter on my feet. I like to bring it, so that helps some, too.”

Cummings was a guy I gravitated to following when the team picked him up in 2008. The fact that he’s stayed with the team for the most part during a time where the linebacker unit has only gotten better is pretty impressive. I’d like to see how long the team can keep him around, and I’d like to see whether they can work him into the game plan. For now though, Special Teams is where he’ll have to make his mark.
