NT- We have one on the roster and he is hurt. Oh, and he is a Rookie.

CB2- anyone else worried that Dax is more feel good camp story then an actual worthy starting CB?

I feel good about him or Turner getting reps there. They both have freak athleticism which helps cover for a lot, especially if the communication from the safeties is good.

He's looked pretty good through camp/preseason to me.
What is your worry? Just lack of faith based on struggles last year at a completely different position?

it was a good day for those young men. I hope it lasts past 4pm today

FWIW, DJ Reader is on the Lions roster. Not on IR or PUP.

We surely can’t be going with just 3 RB’s and one of those is average at best.

He was activated off of PUP on Tuesday

They will carry at least one on the PS they can call up as needed. Williams had 143 touches last year as HB #2, so if he moved to HB 3 touch share he is only going to see about 90 offensive snaps. Gameday you aren't going to keep more than 3 active so not really an issue.

We haven't seen him play top notch competition yet at the CB position.  I would still prefer a CB with more experience at the position.

The Bengals claimed EDGE KJ Henry off of waivers from the Commanders. This preseason:

? 82.9 PFF grade
⚫ 48 pass rush snaps
? 10 pressures
⚫ 1.0 sack
? 20.8% pass rush win rate pic.twitter.com/PHud3EPreD

I would assume one of the DTs (Carter/Tufele), one of the TEs (Hudson), or someonewho does not have to clear waivers (Hudson, Irwin) makes way. Or Jackson goes to IR.

Interesting they gave up on a 3rd round draft pick from last years draft...

I'm guessing with the injury challeng on the defensive line that the cut is gong to come from the tight end room

After a good pre-season, no less.

Only if I know Hudson is willing to sign back on the PS. 

For me, guys like Tufele & Carter are straight PS level guys. If we lose them, the drop to guys like Bell or Davis or another player cut (Tupou) is negligible. 

Whereas a guy like Hudson, we know he can help us and clicks with Burrow. Unless we have a wink/nod agreement, I don't risk it.

I think he was a 5th rounder but that’s still early to give up on a player.
He is young and apparently had a good preseason so interesting pick up for the Bengals.

Well they’ve cut him so now we are down to two.
