Notes:
I have Charlie Batch out because no one else will pick him up and if worst comes to worst we could bring him back. Plus Johnson is getting a lot of praise from the coaches, especially Tomlin, and could be the QB of the future.

Paulsen moves to the practice squad after Saunders suspension is over knocking off either Walter McFadden or Brandon Johnson.

Guys who I was really close to adding were Adrian Robinson, still could if Worilds stays on the PUP, and Corbin Bryant, still could beat out Woods.

There are 4 starters on the d-line because Keisel and Heyward will alternate.

We keep 5 WRs and roll with 4 safeties hoping no one gets hurt with Clark out Week 1.

Butler beats Kapinos because you can't win a job sitting in the tub.

Hrapmann is making it a competition with Suisham but it still looks like it's Suisham's job to lose.

Next update will be after game 3.
