53 Guesses and 16 Hopefuls

September 4, 2020

This morning, Steve did his roster picks. As most are aware, Saturday is cutdown day where teams need to get down to 53 players on their roster. We probably won’t know the final roster until Monday at the earliest. The team has to sign 16 players to the practice squad and some players on the initial 53 may end on the injured reserve list. Also, I think a number of the practice squad players will come from players released by other teams.

Here are my roster guesses:

Position Group	53 Man Roster	Practice Squad	Injured Reserve
QB	Dwayne Haskins Jr., Kyle Allen	Steven Montez	Alex Smith
RB	Adrian Peterson, Antonio Gibson, J.D. McKissic, Bryce Love, Peyton Barber
WR	Terry McLaurin, Dontrelle Inman, Steven Sims Jr., Antonio Gandy-Golden, Cam Sims, Isaiah Wright	Jordan Veasy	Kelvin Harmon*
TE	Logan Thomas, Jeremy Sprinkle, Marcus Baugh	Hale Hentges	Thaddeus Moss*
OL	Geron Christian Sr., Wes Martin, Chase Roullier, Brandon Scherff, Morgan Moses, Wes Schweitzer, David Sharpe, Keith Ismael, Cornelius Lucas	Ross Pierschbacher, Timon Parris	Saahdiq Charles
DE	Chase Young, Ryan Kerrigan, Ryan Anderson, Montez Sweat	Jordan Brailford, James Smith-Williams
DT	Jonathan Allen, Daron Payne, Matt Ioannidis, Tim Settle
LB	Jon Bostic, Thomas Davis Sr., Cole Holcomb, Shaun Dion Hamilton, Khaleke Hudson, Kevin Pierre-Louis		Reuben Foster
CB	Ronald Darby, Kendall Fuller, Fabian Moreau, Aaron Colvin, Jimmy Moreland, Greg Stroman	Danny Johnson, Ryan Lewis
S	Troy Apke, Landon Collins, Sean Davis, Kamren Curl, Deshazor Everett	Jeremy Reaves
Specialists	Nick Sundberg, Dustin Hopkins, Tress Way

Players on IR are eligible to return to practice after three weeks. After the player start practicing, the team will have 21 days to place them back on the active roster. Players marked with an asterisk above, are out for the full 2020 season.

Players Released

We will periodically update the list of players released, so check back here to see which players have been released.

Note: The roster selections were done before the release of Adrian Peterson was made public.
