They signed a FA Jaylon Huchings so I think they are still looking for the backup to Billings. Not sure if anyone is out there but I think they deem that more need than edge. Report
August 23, 20241 yr comment_215551 I've got 2 QBs: Williams and Bagent. We keep one of Rypien/Reed on PS and after watching the KC game I don't care which one. If we're keeping 4 RBs I'm taking Velus over Homer. He showed tonight he's the better RB and he's got as much or more versatility on special teams. ------ This new rule is going to factor into the 53 this year possibly with Borom's injury if it's not season ending: "Previously a player needed to make the 53-man roster to be eligible to return to the 53-man roster. That means guys placed on IR during training camp, when teams can carry 90 players, couldn’t be designated to return. Instead, players needed to make the 53-man roster on final cut day, then be placed on IR. However, according to a memo distributed by NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero, the league has tweaked IR rules this year to allow players to return to the 53-man roster if they are placed on IR on cut down day."

Tough to come back from an ACL and fight for a roster spot next year. Report
August 27, 20241 yr comment_215643 Watching that video was informative and it really shows how much depth we've added over the last couple seasons. We still have a couple gaps among starters but so does every team. Report
August 31, 20241 yr Author comment_215716 Current 53-man Roster: QB - Williams, Bagent RB - Swift, Herbert, Johnson, Homer, Blasingame TE - Kmet, Everett, Lewis WR - Moore, Allen, Odunze, Scott, Jones Jr, Carter OL - Jones, Wright, Shelton, Jenkins, Davis, Murray, Bates, Pryor, Amegadjie, Kramer DL - Sweat, Taylor, Walker, Hardy, Booker, Dexter, Billings, Williams, Pickens, Robinson LB - Edmunds, Edwards, Sanborn, Sewell, Ogbongbemiga CB - Johnson, Stevenson, Gordon, Smith, Jones, Blackwell S - Brisker, Byard, Hicks, Owens ST - Santos, Taylor, (Daly - will be elevated from PS on Week 1) Blasingame was added in place of Scales, so I assume Kramer (to PS), Bates (injury), or Pickens (injury) will have to be dropped off the 53-man to elevate Daly. 16-player practice squad: QB Austin Reed TE Stephen Carlson WR Collin Johnson WR Samori Toure (GB, 7th Round) OL Theo Benedet OL Jake Curhan OL Chris Glase (NYJ, UDFA) DL Sam Roberts (NE, 6th Round) DL Byron Cowart DL Jamree Kromah LB Micah Baskerville LB Carl Jones Jr. DB Reddy Steward DB Tarvarius Moore DB Ro Torrence LS Scott Daly (DET, UDFA) Report
