53 man roster projection

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

I will take a stab:

Offense = 25

QB (2): Burrow; Browning
RB (3): Moss; C. Brown, Williams.
WR (6): Chase, Higgins, Iosivas; Irwin, Burton, C. Jones
TE (5): D. Sample, Gesicki, All, Hudson, McLachlan.
OT (4): O. Brown, T. Brown; Mims, Ford
OG (3): Cappa, Volson; Kirkland (Ford & Karras)
C (2): Karras; Lee
-------------------------

Defense = 26
DE (5): Hendrickson, Hubbard; Murphy*, Ossai, Johnson
DT (5): BJ Hill, Rankins; Jenkins, Jackson*, Carter.
LB (5): Wilson, Pratt; ADG, Bachie, Njongmeta
CB (6): CTB, D. Hill, Hilton; Turner, Newton, Davis.
S (5): Bell, Stone; Battle, Anderson, Anthony.
------------
Specials = 3.
PK: McPherson
P: Robbins
LS: Adomitis
---------

Astute readers will note that is 54. I suspect that whomever has a longer return timeline: Murphy or Jackson, will join Ivey as the 2 players who can be on IR but not take a 53 man spot & come back.

C Sample, Evans, and D. Smith are IR'd for the year.

FWIW, I believe J. Davis, Hudson, and Irwin all have 4+ years, so they become FA's if cut. If we want to sneak another guy through and cut a vet temporarily, those are your best bets.
