Also, we are so focused on Burfict that we forget that Sean Porter will alos be elgible to come off of PUP.  Our LB depth could use a boost.  Have we heard anything on his progress?  Will he be ready to go?

It is a tough one, but Carter would be my first cut. I don't see us adding a LB and cutting a WR since we only have 4 WR's dressed each week and 6 total on the roster. Alford is very fast, but also a rookie and raw so it would concern me being forced to use Alford in place of AJ or Jones. I think we have a lot of slot options with Sanu, Burkhead or Gio in addition to Alford so we lack depth on the outside if we cut Little.

 The Bengals have 3 weeks to makes decisions on Burfict. I could see them giving Uzomah more time. We have been extremely fortunate thus far and lost no guys in 2015 due to injury. Unfortunately, my guess is our luck runs out soon so roster spots will start opening due to injury.

As far as Porter, again I think we wait until week 8 to decide how to proceed if Burfict is ready and the priority.
