It's honestly going to come down to special teams and performance in the preseason games. Cobb, Nelson, Adams, and Montgomergy (cause he's a third round pick) are roster locks. White has been making most of the opportunities in camp with the fellow bubble receivers on the shelf. I think Abs sticks around, but on the practice squad. Unless he comes back from his concussion and tears the preseason a new one.

Why is 6 any less likely?

Abbrederis ain't gonna be IRed for what has happened to him up to now. It's kinda cynical to expect more/worse injuries to happen to the guy, and I doubt they just give up on him. I don't see 4 TEs kept; I doubt Ripkowski stays as a second FB; The young RBs don't seem to be stepping up.

3 QBs, 3 RBs, 1 FB, 3 TEs, 8 OL, 6 DL, 10 LBs, 10 DBs, 1 K, 1 P, 1 H, and 6 Wide Receivers - that adds up to 53, and I could see 1 less than that at several spots.

Nelson, Cobb, Montgomery, Adams, Janis, and Abbrederis. That and a couple of the young guys on the practice squad if we are lucky.

Six defensive linemen seems low to me. Imagine if two of them get hurt. The other four will be gassed during a full 60 minutes.

Problem being our DL has been rather terrible. Do you keep your best 53 even if that means we run the risk should injury occur? I'd rather expose some of our DL to the practice squad than our WRs for fear of them being scooped up by another team.

Maybe but let's face it, Neal, Perry and Peppers are 'tweeners. Peppers has played almost his entire career as a 4-3 end.

Maybe. They all have potential though. They could always stash Abby on the IR for another year. Haven't they expanded the PS this year? Blanchard probably gets a spot if he's still eligible.
