Whoever performs worst out of Hudson, Smith, Wilcox, and Sample gets the boot when Jones returns.
We have an open roster spot at the moment.
From our initial 53, Jones, C. Brown, and Anderson are on IR. LB Devin Harper and Hudson have been added.
When Brown is back from his hammy, then we will have to cut someone.
It will probably be someone who is inactive on gamedays. Last week's were Harper (LB), Tupou (injured), D. Smith, Ivey, and T. Hill. Tufele is sometimes inactive when Tupou is healthy. Sometimes the 4th RB is inactive (Evans), but not with Brown out. Tufele, T. Hill, Ivey, D. Smith, and Evans are all under contract through next year. Tupou & Harper are not. Harper & Tufele are the only guys who don't have any Dead Cap costs, but the others are not much.
All 4 TEs played at least 10 offensive snaps last week. And Wilcox played the most ST snaps on the team. I doubt any of those guys get released. Sample & Wilcox ate the blockers & Smith & Hudson the receivers. Need cover at both.
Harper is the clear #52 unless we cut some deadwood off the OL.
