When you are this far along in training camp I am assuming these guys will be ST players. Maybe they can work up to 2nd string rotational players toward the middle or end of the season.

AZ Cards website revenge of the birds

Pittsburgh linebacker JAMES FOLSTON JR. (6-3, 240) played in 43 games at defensive end and recorded 47 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks during his Panthers career.

While Folston was not a starter for the majority of his time at Pitt, the native of Cocoa, Florida, came up with 47 tackles, 3.5 tackles for losses and 1.5 sacks. He also came up with big plays on occasion, as he blocked a punt in Pitt’s 28-21 win over Youngstown State in September 2017. That was then recovered and returned 66 yards by Pitt safety Jazzee Stocker.

This was in May after he signed as a UDFA. Even they didn't have much on him.

If he can't make the team in AZ with their woeful defense I don't think he sticks in GB.

There is even less on Kalili. This is from APC .

Kalili is also a rookie and comes out of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas who originally signed as an UDFA with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Kalili recorded 64 tackles (45 solo) and forced three fumbles in two seasons at UNLV.

Green Bay can’t seem to add enough talent in the secondary and Kalili joins a crowded group of cornerbacks although given the depth problem at inside linebacker, he could be moved to safety and eventually play in the box.

I think it is important that he just may be playing the LB /S hybrid position.
