Notice how quickly that Jihad Ward bandwagon has disappeared? I have.
Damn hate to lose any the bubble guys on the list but my 4th DT would be Jones. Said many times, other than DLaw, he was probably our best DL the last 2-3 games last year. If they keep 10, I probably also go with Price and Tapper.
Keep in mind, Ward is a Martinelli's personal favorite which may give him a bit of an edge.....
They probably keep 10 but it has been 9 and 11 in the past years. They have 8 active on game days.

Susp- D Irving(cut Tapper)

Ward was out there in the 4th quarter of the 2nd preseason game. So was Price. That is usually a hint that one is on the bubble. To Price's credit, he actually played well in the 4th quarter. Ward did not, as far as I recall. I would guess Ward will be cut.
We traded away a kid whom I REALLY LIKED in Ryan Switzer for this Ward guy.... I hate some of the moves we make honestly.
The only thing I saw Ward do was to get a 15-yard penalty that kept a Bengals scoring drive alive.

Seen where Jason said don't expect to see Jones anytime soon.
IMO, Could be an IR guy if he does not return by cut down day.
DLaw, Taco, Gregory, Armstrong, Tapper
Collins, Woods, Crawford, Ward, Price
If only 9, then remove Tapper, as Crawford can kick outside if needed.
That is my thought, with Datone Jones stashed on IR.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't Jones have to be on the opening 53 before he could go to IR with a return designation?
I can't help but to think that Jihad Ward will be the guy who keeps Irving's seat warm for if and when he comes back, barring injuries elsewhere.
