The Philadelphia Soul has released its final team roster for the 2014 season. The 35-man roster was trimmed to 24 (21 active and three inactive) after a two-week training camp at the NovaCare Complex. Temple University wide receiver Darryl Shine, who had been invited to training camp following an open public tryout the team hosted in February, did not make last cuts and has been “reassigned,” meaning that he will not be retained on the roster. Below is the team’s Opening Week roster:
