I though you can only have 8 players on your practice squad ?

1. I expect Burfict to come off of PUP before preseason game three. The knee is completely healed, it is just a matter of building up the muscles he wasn't able to use during his recuperation. He would have to sustain a new injury for him to stay on PUP.

2. In Hobson's interview with Cincy Jungle, he indicated that after the 'big three', Tate was the only wide receiver that looked decent during the OTAs. So I would pencil him in as the #4 wide receiver.

Good Morning -- I was a Bengals fan during my childhood but have been away for 30+ years. Hard to follow them real close from a distance, but I am back in the area and am following my team close now! My stab at the 53:

QB: Dalton, McCarron (PS: Wenning)
RB: Hill, Bernard, Burkhead, Peerman (PS: Wilder, Watson)
WR: Green, Sanu, Jones, Alford, Little, Tate (PS: Kumerow)
TE: Eifert, Hewitt, Kroft (PS: Uzomah, Peters)
OT: Whitworth, Smith, Winston, Fisher (Ogbuehi on PUP)
OG: Boling, Zeitler, Hopkins
C: Bodine, Johnson

DE: Johnson, Dunlap, Gilberry, Clarke, Hardison
DT: Atkins, Peko, Thompson, Sims, Williams
LB: Maualuga, Lamur, Dawson, Hawk, Rey, Flowers, Johnson (Burfict on PUP) (PS: Roach)
CB: Kirkpatrick, Jones, Dennard, Hall, Shaw (PS: Hill)
S: Nelson, Illoka, Williams, Smith (PS: Dargan)

ST: Huber, Nugent, Harris (PS: Obarski)

I like an extra LB this year after last season's injuries -- I also think Burfict will miss at least the first six games (microfracture is tough).

Appreciate this forum to keep up to date!
