Well, today is the big day, as we need to be down to 53 by 4 pm. We likely may pick up a player or two that is released elsewhere (Kareem, Perine, OL help).
I must apologize for the radio silence for the last month. I was on vacation in Canada/Alaska & then got COVID at the end of it. Been on IR for a bit.
So, first order of business is catching up on all the moves made while I was out of it.

1) 7/27: Signed P Ryan Rehkow, WR Hakeem Butler, and CB Nate Brooks.
2) 7/28. TE Eric All off injured/PUP & cleared to practice.

3) 8/7. Placed DE Cam Sample on the Reserve/Injured list. Waived P Austin McNamara & WR Tre Mosley (I did not even have him on the list). Signed DE Andre Carter & DT Josh Pryor.
4) 8/8. Signed DT Carlos Davis.
5) 8/12. DT Devonta Maxwell off Injured list & cleared to practice

6) 8/14. Placed DE Jeff Gunter on the Reserve/Retired list.
7) 8/18. Extended PK Evan McPherson.
8) 8/19. Placed OL D'Ante Smith & RB Chris Evans on the Reserve/Injured List. Waived DT Devonta Maxwell.
9) 8/23. Waived the following 11 players: OL Jackson Carman, WR Haleem Butler, RB Noah Cain, DE Andre Carter, LB Aaron Casey, S Michael Dowell, CB Alan George, WR Kwamie Lassiter, II, QB Rocky Lombardi, G Eric Miller, & DT Joshua Pryor.
10) 8/26. Waived DE Justin Blazek.

Whew! By my count, that gets us to 26 offensive guys I project to be serious roster contenders, 29 on D, and 4 on specials. For a total of 59. Plus 14 guys who I'd project as happy to make the PS. And, I believe Ivey is the only injured guy who can make it back this year, so I'd think we have a pass thru 53 spot open for an "injured" player.
Roster + PS + Inj = 53 + 16 + 2 = 71.
Currently: 59 + 14 + 1 = 74.
19 gotta go to get to 53 + 2, but 16 could come back to the PS.
It is real likely we sign a guy off waivers elsewhere to help where we are thin (DE, OL, NT, RB).
