reserved/PUP means they can return early as week 6

if someone is on the IR/designated for return they have to be on the final 53 roster

PUP means they can come back after week 6.

Since Driskel(and Anderson) was put on IR as part of the final cuts, he wouldn't be eligible to return.

11 D-line (for now)
8 - O-line. Dugas makes it after Jerry cut
5 LB - Hardy Nickerson makes it (for now)
4 TEs - Carter over Schreck
7 WRs - Malone makes it over Core
5 CBs - McRae over Harris
Only 3 RBs after Anderson's injury allowing 3 QBs - Dolegala makes it

I'd be surprised if that's still the roster in a week's time.
