Actually, they've opened the season with 5 the last two years; 2020 they opened with 7. With Chase being the only WR drafted the last two years, the low numbers aren't really a huge surprise. Nobody to worry about getting picked off on the way to the practice squad and no reason for more depth than that until guys start to get dinged up.
Given his physical traits, getting Iosivas to the practice squad seems doubtful at best to me. I wouldn't be surprised to see 7, being Chase, Higgins, Boyd, Irwin, Jones, Iosivas & Morgan (maybe Taylor over Morgan, but I think the latter for ST). If Iosivas shows out well at gunner (where Simmons has implied they'll be trying him at in pre-season games), maybe they go 6 with both Morgan and Taylor being odd men out.
