CTB and Wilcox will revert to IR and Thad Moss and Tycen Anderson will replace
If you go by how absolutely horrible D'ante Smith has looked at both LT and RT, I like the guy and energy and enthusiasm he brings to the sideline just can't seen him being kept in place of Adeniji, who plays Tackle WAY better than as a guard, an experiment that has to end. I think they go with 9 OL as the 10th man, whoever it is, isn't NFL material.
Trenton Irwin will be a tough cut, sure hands, good routes, and good lord, that man can absorb a hit as we have seen the last 2 preseasons.
On defense, 4 LB is just too light at that position. I believe they will try to sneak Gunter past waivers to PS and keep 9 DL or keep Shelvin, who has not been playing as bad as posters seem to think he has ( if you don't believe me watch the 3rd and 4th down of the TN playoff game when Tanehill and Henry both got stuffed), Tupou, for all his size doesn't anchor as well as expected and has NEVER impressed me. So I wouldn't be surprised if he goes.
So Johnston stays, with Bachie to PUP, which I believe he is still eligible.
Also, don't believe George is ready for Primetime. waivers to PS.
That leaves a roster slot open for a waiver pickup, possibly OL, we usually pillage a Division rival for those. or placing Anderson on 53 outright.
For PS, since this team is in a position to "win now", I think they will keep the proven triad of Harris, Huber, McMoney. and not try experiments for the future. Good holders are under appreciated unlike snappers.
My 2 cents, reserving right to stand corrected.
