Sandro Platzgummer
Bitter news for Austria's NFL hope Sandro Platzgummer. The running back is missing from the final 53-man roster for the NY Giants.
After a strong performance in the pre-season, Platzgummer hoped to make it into the Giants' squad, but the NFL club from New York let the Austrian fall through the rust.
The NFL dream for the 24-year-old has not yet completely burst, other teams can now sign the Tyrolean for their training teams.
Things look a little better for tight-end Bernhard Seikovits, who has at least one place in the practice squad of the Arizona Cardinals due to his performance in the International Pathway program.
