First cutdown is Tuesday by 4pm.

BTW, while this may not have an impact on the first cutdown, chances are Bradford and Johnson's injuries could possibly squeeze out a couple of spots from some players that play different positions at the bottom of the roster.

In other words, hw does the team not keep 3 QBs now (Hill, Davis, & a veteran pickup)?. And since Johnson isn't going to be out that long, they probably need to keep an extra CB on the roster while he is inactive the first few weeks.

This lower the chances of keeping 10 DLinemen or 5 RBs or maybe even 5 WRs.

Agree that keep 3 QB's is a must @ this point. When your starter is a 34 yr old with very little mobility. Is Hill going to be able to push that ball down the field in those tight spaces? I not ready to throw Gilbert out yet you have to be thinking about grooming a possible QB this season. This is Davis 3rd yr as a Ram. Just how much of a need is there for the 5 WR's? How many balls are going to be sent into open air for the taking?

Agree The chances of 6 CB's & just 4 safeties is probable. Disagree on the OL. With the make up of our OL Saffold- Long- Wells & Joseph all with serious recent injury history and the fact running the ball will be even have much more emphasized.....10 OL'ers may be a must...price you pay when you sign fragile OL'ers like Saffold. But do we really have more than 8 worth keeping? I know that I would not let RB Watts depart this team at this moment.
