I moved OT Cochran up to a PS spot. Hilton no longer a FA. And I am properly at 91 after having discovered I had Raymond Johnson III listed twice.

II. Current Projected Roster: Signed/Draft = 53
Italics denotes a player with a zero dead cap hit.
Offense = 24
QB (2): Burrow; Browning
RB (4): C. Brown; Perine, Brooks
WR (5): Chase, Higgins, Iosivas; Burton, C. Jones
TE (5): D. Sample; Gesicki, Hudson, Grandy, McLachlan
OT (4): O. Brown, Mims; Ford (T/G), Rivers (OT/G)
G (3): Patrick (G/C), Fairchild, Volson
C (2): Karras (C/G); Lee (C/T/G)
----------------
Defense = 26
DE (6): Hendrickson, Ossai; Stewart, Murphy, C. Sample (DE/DT), C. Johnson
DT (5): BJ Hill, Slaton; Jenkins; Jackson, Bryan
LB (5): L. Wilson, Knight; Burks, Carter, Heyward
CB (6): CTB, D. Hill; Turner, Newton, Ivey, M. Wilson
S (4): Battle, Stone; Anderson, Anthony

Special Teams = 3
PK: McPherson
P: Rehkow
LS: Adomitis
=================
III. Injured Reserve = 3 (56)
A. PUP/Active (1)
1. Erick All, TE, (knee). Likely season-ending 2nd surgery.
B. NFI/Active (2):

IV. Projected Practice Squad = 12 (68)

2. RB: Milton

4. OT: Cochrane
5. G: Kirkland (G/OT)
6. C: Raym
7. DE: I. Thomas

12. CB: Jalen Davis, 4, $1,030,000, Zero (Fut)
13. Open
14. Open
15. Open
16. Open

4 open in this projection. WR (Pryor) & S for sure. Probably another corner as well. Another TE/WR also likely. Or another S. How the 53 shakes out will obviously impact the PS choices. I am assuming some cover at every spot save special teams, unless the 53 is heavy at that spot.
V. Signed, Projected Outside PS ATM = 2 (70)
1. G: Stueber
2. CB: L. Robinson
---------------------
VI. Signed to Future's Contracts, Projected Outside the PS = 9 (79)
These guys do technically take up roster spaces and cap space at the moment. But effectively they do not, as none of them have any Dead Cap hit if released. These are camp bodies, practice squad types with perhaps a dark horse candidate to make the 53 or two.
But it does give one a better idea if how much space we'd have with a full toster instead of only 44.
