These are the 11 players that were not at practice on Monday and are assumed to be cut:

RB A.J. Harris
WR Chris Jones
WR Robert Ortiz
TE Andy Stokes
C Austin King
OG Jason Murphy
OT Jonathan Alston

LB Marcus Rucker
CB Dennis Davis
S Patrick Ghee

K Kurt Smith

No real surprises there. Maybe Chris Jones, only because he played so early in the last game, but maybe they are just giving him a shot at making another roster. I kind of forgot about Jonathan Alston. He had been marginalized in practice and the games since Floyd Womack was back and playing LT, and Ray Willis moved back to tackle with Walter Jones out.

I am also a little surprised that the team is still carrying 8 DTs at this point. At this time last year they were already down to the 5 that made the final roster, including Marcus Tubbs and Russell Davis who were both not at 100%. DE Chris Cooper was lining up at DT in practice, but including him, that only made 6 DTs at this time last year.

It remains to be seen if Harris getting cut provides us any information. I said, "If the team does cut Harris on Tuesday, then it might be a signal that they have decided to go with Marquis Weeks over Josh Parry. Or it could just mean they don't think Harris is even good enough for the practice squad." I am currently leaning toward the latter. I would be less surprised to see David Kirtman beat out Parry. He has been picking it up on special teams recently.
