Ottawa natives Neville Gallimore and Luiji Vilain were among the cuts around the NFL on Tuesday, according to reports.
Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports the Miami Dolphins are cutting Gallimore, while Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reported the Carolina Panthers waived Vilain.
Both players were members of TSN's Canadian All-22 team released last week.
Gallimore, 27, spent the last four seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, appearing in a total of 52 games. The Oklahoma product totaled 90 combined tackles, 11 tackles for loss and 4.0 sacks.
He played in all 17 games last season, tallying eight solo and eight assisted tackles for a total of 16.
Gallimore was selected in the third round (No. 82 overall) by Dallas in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Vilain joined the Minnesota Vikings for the 2022 season and played in a total of three games that year, recording four combined tackles.
He also appeared in one game last year with Minnesota before being poached off their practice roster by the Panthers, suiting up in one additional game for the Panthers in Week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts.
Vilain spent the first two seasons of his college career at Michigan before transferring to Wake Forest for his junior season.
