Porky
Hall of Fame
Ok this thread can really serve multiple purposes. We've got a lot of new guys, rookies, etc and watching these games and seeing a number and not knowing who it is can be an issue. So, I've copied all this into Word to have with me Friday. Ok, I know that's geeky but it might help.
We have no long term injuries yet (knock on wood) and we are sure to get at least a couple of players cut from other teams, so this is very much less than perfect. It's simply an exercise to look at this roster and play GM for a minute and take a wild guess. Some will be easy, some we have no idea without seeing them play. That's what makes it interesting - a way to pass the time until Friday. So, I've got my 53 below, with my 8 man Practice Squad. More than likely, a couple of the 8 could also be from other teams, but let's go with what we currently have on the roster.
A * means makes the final 53 as it looks opening day. PS is a guy that makes the Practice Squad. PUP should be obvious to football fans. Nothing next to a player means he is cut outright and does not make the PS or PUP. Players are listed in alphabetical order, divided by position.
