Players I think make the 53

Wooten
Tae Daley - he's shown more than Wiggins
Manny Jones - looks like a player

I think Luketa and Bolden deserve a spot but just don't see how in deep rooms.

I'd take Bolden over Isabella. No way Isabella makes that Bolden catch.

Isabella again had a good stat line but disappointed me. He had 2 chances to score but got brought down at the 2. One of them being chased down by a slow ass LB. I still see a very limited guy that's only good at things you rarely get to do against starter quality talent.

Add in that Isabella still shows nothing on ST's.
AI has just been used incorrectly. Clearly he needs to just constantly run go routes and then have to slow down to not even come close to catching the pass but enough so the DB runs into him and gets the PI.

2022 AI stat line - 0 catches for 0 yards. 1500 yards in PI calls.

North of the 49th.
The only way I think Isabella stays is during the Hop suspension in the hope they can find a trade partner.

No matter what we think I believe it's pretty obvious that neither Kyler or the coaching staff trust him. Whenever he's been called on in actual NFL games he's let them down.

It's pretty obvious what you think. KK & KM less so.

#42 on Titans is Joe Jones - pretty athletic dude (see below) but not sure why we are arguing about this one. AI made a couple of side steps (slowed down) and was waiting on a final block. Jones was running full speed the whole time.

Jones ran a 4.49 and AI a 4.31 during draft process. Clearly both are fast.

Manny Jones maybe, most likely all 3 are practice squad

Would keep Dortch over AI right now. But I am having more trouble on a few defensive guys. I thought Jones, Ledbetter, Ringo, Wooten all played well. Some tough decisions coming by Tuesday. If Zaven doesn’t show like he’s turned the corner somewhat I wouldn’t mind giving Wooten a try. He was always around the ball sans a missed tackle late in the last game.

I think Wooten makes the 53 at inside linebacker and either Banjo or Deonte Thompson get axed. Also think they keep Manny Jones or Ledbetter over Dogbe
Deonte Thompson has been a huge disappointment. Jones & Ledbetter looked good against the Bengals but didn't do much against the Ravens that I noticed. Maybe cause a TE was lighting our vaunted VJ defense up once again lol? The coaching staff really seem high on Dogbe for some reason, I really don't see it.

Is the practice squad protected players still in play this year?

Up to four players can be protected on the league's practice squad each week; Other teams may not sign protected practice squad players.

Here are all of the practice squad rules:

I don't think fans appreciate how much this changes roster construction. Someone like McSorley as a 3rd QB for example can be parked on the PS and protected rather than take up a spot on the 53 (although for some reason they didn't do that with Streveler last year).
