Some interesting comments in the article after they name the projected 53:
"Volson won the starting left guard job by a mile after playing well in training camp and in the preseason."
"Kendric Pryor and Lassiter both flashed their potential on offense, but it won't be enough to make the team. Both guys are talented and the Bengals will role the dice in hopes of sneaking them onto the practice squad."
"Seventh rounder Jeff Gunter flashed just enough to make the final cut. If Kareem's hamstring injury is significant, there's a chance they put him on injured reserve to give themselves another spot to use elsewhere."
"Harris won the battle at long snapper, but special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons decides to go with the younger, more powerful punter in Chrisman. It was a close competition, but he has more upside and handled himself well as a holder for McPherson in training camp and the preseason."
I'm not sure that isn't a bit of a stretch ? But having said that I won't be shocked if Volson is the starter ?
I'd love it if they can keep Pryor on the 53. And the more I think about it the more I'm leaning towards Chrisman.
