However, our DL looked like crap throughout the season and the team didn't promote him so he took an offer from the Bears when they checked him out.

A lot of players want to stick it out with the team that took the flyer on them.
DeShawn Williams turned down other offers.

Jimmy O has made it sound like there will be roster moves after week 1 involving our PS guys.

I think there will be a mixture of vets and PS players being added to rosters after week 1 due to the rule that after week one teams don't have to guarantee the salary the entire year so it reduces the risk for teams.

I hope our guys stay set, but you never know. We also don't know if the Bengals will look at a move or 2 after week one with vets or practice squad players.

I would think at a minimum we grab a vet OL to get to 9 on our 53 man roster as I don't recall us every only having 8.

Talent never seems to get developed from the practice squad.

I know one

maybe they are not so talented

Kyle Cook has to be in consideration right? hes no superbowl mvp or anything but he had some good years coming from minnesotas practice squad.

My point was simply at this point in time no team grabbed any of our guys and we had some fans stating guys like Wilder Jr. and Williams were gone if not on our 53 last weekend.

They stated it as a fact, not a possibility and they were dead wrong.

 I'm thankful that most of "our guys" did make it to the PS just for the fact that we may need them down the road.
The three that I chose to list are all capable and talented enough to play at the NFL level. Many of us are humble enough and thankful to be wrong in this instance.
All things will be revealed as the season plays out.
