OG: La'el Collins, Zack Martin, Ron Leary
C: Travis Frederick, Joe Looney

Suspended: DeMarcus Lawrence, Randy Gregory
PUP List: Lance Dunbar, Gavin Escobar, Jaylon Smith

PS: Jamil Showers, Vince Mayle, Andy Jones, Rico Gathers, Jake Brendal, Caleb Azubike, Mark Nzeocha, Deon King, Deji Olatoye, Jerimiah McKinnon

Just a couple of thoughts
-Unless Elliot or Jackson goes down, Morris or McFadden will not be on the team beyond week 4. Either one gets cut to make room for Lawrence/Gregory or they get dealt to a team in need of a RB due to injury.
-Dunbar will be released or kept on IR after his six weeks on the PUP list are up
-Escobar will bump Swaim from the roster, despite us having very little interest in resigning him.
-Barring an injury to a d-lineman, Coe and Russell will be competing for the final DL spot after Lawrence/Gregory are reinstated.
-I think we keep 5 CBs and there will be an interesting camp battle between Brown, Mitchell, Olatoye and McKinnon.
-I know everyone around here loves cutting bottom of the roster guys, but I actually wanted to keep Danny McCray and just couldn't justify it now that Byron Jones is a full time safety. With him at FS, whoever loses the camp battle between Church and Wilcox should see a lot of time on special teams. Now maybe McCray is better enough times special teams that we keep him over who ever doesn't win the starting job, but that would mean Frazier has shown that he can play immediately if someone goes down.

Swap out Charles Brown for Nzeocha.
Mitchell is gone as of today.

Morris' salary is guaranteed & McFadden's will be after Wk1. So McFadden needs to go prior to wk 1 if there is no injury.

Charles Brown either needs to make it as the swing tackle or not on the team at all. No sense keeping him as an inactive.

Coaches are really high on Nzeocha, big & fast

As previous post mentioned, Terrence Mitchell is gone, Anthony Brown appears to already be the favorite as the fourth cb, extra dime guy.

Caleb Abuzike was released already so doubtful he would be brought back on practice squad.

Danny McCray was never re-signed.

I think Demarcus Lawrence is the only suspended player that makes it onto the 53 this year, not going to predict who's spot he takes because someone will likely be in IR at that time.
