Chances of Keeping Six Wide Receivers Dwindling· Page 2

It's honestly going to come down to special teams and performance in the preseason games. Cobb, Nelson, Adams, and Montgomergy (cause he's a third round pick) are roster locks. White has been making most of the opportunities in camp with the fellow bubble receivers on the shelf. I think Abs sticks around, but on the practice squad. Unless he comes back from his concussion and tears the preseason a new one.

Why is 6 any less likely?

Abbrederis ain't gonna be IRed for what has happened to him up to now. It's kinda cynical to expect more/worse injuries to happen to the guy, and I doubt they just give up on him. I don't see 4 TEs kept; I doubt Ripkowski stays as a second FB; The young RBs don't seem to be stepping up.

3 QBs, 3 RBs, 1 FB, 3 TEs, 8 OL, 6 DL, 10 LBs, 10 DBs, 1 K, 1 P, 1 H, and 6 Wide Receivers - that adds up to 53, and I could see 1 less than that at several spots.

Nelson, Cobb, Montgomery, Adams, Janis, and Abbrederis. That and a couple of the young guys on the practice squad if we are lucky.

Six defensive linemen seems low to me. Imagine if two of them get hurt. The other four will be gassed during a full 60 minutes.

Zero2Cool (2h) : James Jones. Y’all must not know, Dr. Mackenzie🤣 he was not going to let Jordan love play today.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Malik to start. Love inactive. Per report. Let's go!!

buckeyepackfan (3h) : I think J-10VE will be inactive, a little twist that could be put in is run a wildcat with Wicks at qb. Have him as emergency qb if needed.

Zero2Cool (19h) : I think that's how it works.

Zero2Cool (21h) : I'd go 3 QB regardless this game.

Zero2Cool (21h) : Clifford was elevated, not activated. He doesn't play, it doesn't count.

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Jordan Love just spoke with reporters and said he’s giving himself the week but hopeful to play Sunday against the Titans.

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Practicing is Jordan Love!

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Packers are signing WR Cornelius Johnson to the Practice Squad per sources. Johnson was a 7th round pick this year.

Zero2Cool (17-Sep) : Packers placed RB MarShawn Lloyd on injured reserve.

Zero2Cool (16-Sep) : Rams won’t have Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua when they host the Packers in Week 5.

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : bears still have slim chance here

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : and there's another one!

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : oh crap macbob has the Texans K and he keeps hitting these long FGs

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Hope the Texans beat the brakes off the Bears

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : LaFleur: “I asked Malik why he didn’t throw it on that third down and he told me Josh threw up on the ball.”

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : i was wondering why it was just you, me, beast and macbob by the end

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Yeah it was weird today for some reason

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Oh my, marvin harrison jr might be as good as he was billed out to be

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : and none of the chats on my phone are showing up on the desktop chat

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : weird, i was on my phone for chat during the game but now on my desktop I look at chat and there's tons of chats i didn't see on my phone

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Oh yeah, for sure. That's just not fair thoguh.

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Zero, what I meant was that surely a tech and IT genius such as yourself would find a way to change the pick

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Well, I mean, I know I did, but might not have waited for it to register and went into Chat. Oh well

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Or so I thought I did. lol

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : I had Colts for few days to throw everyone off. At 11am or so, I changed it to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : You know if you didn't say anything you probably could have changed it and no one would have noticed ;)

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Vikings over the 49ers, Bucs over the Lions
