Neild was waived/injured and since no one has claimed him he's on the IR for the Redskins. Now he doesn't count against the 90 man pre-season roster.

I know the whole practice squad waiving thing. But for example, when Adrian Peterson tore his ACL last year, his 5th year in the league, and him playing more than 75% of the season, they put him on IR. He went straight there and didn't have to be cut. Chris Neild is a 2nd year player who made the 53 man roster and played more than 8 games for us last year, but yet he has to be cut to go to IR. Is it because he hasn't played in the NFL that long? Or is it because he was a 7th rounder as opposed to a 1st rounder?
