    And how about the Browns roster as it stands:

    Probably In:

    QBs: Weeden/Campbell/Hoyer

    RBs: Richardson/Jackson

    FB: Ogbanaya

    WRs: Little/Gordon/Benjamin/Bess/Nelson

    TE: Cameron/ Barnidge/Davis

    OL: Thomas/Pinkston/Greco/Mack/Moffitt/Lauvao/Gilkey/Schwartz/Butler/Cousins/Shaw

    DL: Rubin/Taylor/D.Bryant/Hughes/Winn/Kitchen

    LB: P Kruger/Groves/Jackson/Fort/Robertson/Sheard/Mingo/Carder/Johnson

    DB: Haden/Skrine/McFadden/Ward/Bademosi/Gipson/Owens/Slaughter/Wade

    ST: Yount ls/Graham k/Lanning p

    That is 52 I think...not taking into account any injury issues:

    Guys on the Bubble:

    Ryan Miller

    Norwood

    Cooper

    Gronkowski

    Smelley

    Marecic

    Hardesty

    Possible Practice Squad:

    Faulk

    Cave

    Roberson

    Hauptmann

    Aubrey

    Auguste

    A. Bryant

    D. Kruger

    Maysonet

    Possible dead men walking?:

    Justin Cole

    Abdul Kanneh

    Vernon Kearney

    Nicolas Jean-Baptiste

    Hall Davis

    Tommy Smith

    Kendrick Adams

    Aaron Adams

    Dominic Alford

    Martin Wallace

    Just speculation. Do you see it differently?

      Other guys I didn't count before:

      Bogotay K

      Brock Bolen FB

      TJ Conley P

      Jamaine Cook RB

      Dominque Croom WR

      Mike Edwards WR

      Tori Gurley WR

      Naaman Roosevelt WR

      Travis Tannehill TE

      What chance do any of these have being stashed on one of the list....or being kept on the active roster.

          Here is the schedule regarding cuts, etc:

          8/27 Roster must be trimmed from 90 to 75. 4:00 pm Eastern time

          8/31 Roster must be trimmed from 75 to 53. 6:00 pm Eastern time

          At the same time players may be placed on the PUP, or IR or such other similar lists.

          Players waived may be picked up by other teams.

          9/1 Noon. Teams may name up to 8 players to a Practice Squad who have not been claimed on waivers by other teams. A club may obtain a waived player from another team and place said player on its practice squad. Practice Squad players may not have played in more than 8 games in any "accrued free agency" season. (a single player may not be placed on a Practice squad more than 3 times)

          9/3 Players may be placed on Reserve/Injured Designated for Return list.

            Right now IMHO:

            Shaw won't make the team now that they picked up Moffitt, they can't keep 11 o-linemen.

            Hardesty will make the roster and will be inactive the first 1-3 weeks, and I also think Norwood makes the final 53; however they are both bubble guys. Other bubble guys are Nelson, Cousins, Kitchen, JMJ, Wade. I think they all make the roster but could be replaced by the PS guys.

            PS guys look like A.Bryant, Miller, Smelley, Aubrey, Roberson, and/or Cooper

            IR for Faulk and Lewis

            It's still hard to say b/c so much changes after waivers, especially practice squad guys, and typically at least one new player gets put on the 53-man roster. We'll see...

              They need to allow more players to make the team... with today's injuries and the specializations of some of these players now days, there should be like 60-70 players per team, if the NFL ever wants to move to an 18-20 game season they will have to expand rosters. This should open up more opportunities for smaller name guys with talent and keeping the talent around that you've developed.

                    I don't know if you can ever truly replace Phil Dawson, you just try to lessen the impact of losing a guy of his caliber. I'd imagine the vet would get the nod and bogotay goes to the practice squad and hope somewhere down the road a young Phil Dawson crosses paths with us again.

                      I'd almost put David Nelson on the bubble, he's been injured so much that he hasn't really been able to show his talent. I think he's only on a one year contract, right? Presumably that was just tto get him in, see if he can perform and sign him to a longer one if he does. He hasn't, yet.

                          Well, that is the point of having a 53 man roster, plus the 8 PS players...that is 61...plus the various injury lists. The Browns could easily keep up to 65 or more of the guys they got stashed somewhere.

                            Again, may be slated for one of the injury lists.

                                Actually, I may not be. PFR says that Miller played in only 6 games last year.

                                Josh Cooper also only played in 6

                                Smelley played in only 2.

                                So they may all be PS eligible.
