Is Chris Givens going to make this team? What about Austin Pettis?
At this point, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey are absolute locks to make the team - we all know that.
Brian Quick appears to have a really strong hold on a spot as well - as we would all expect.
All indications seem to be that Britt is going to get a spot - as he is flashing and appears back from injury.
No telling how many they will keep on the 53 - at least 5 and no more than 7 - and it's likely that only 5 dress each week.
So if we assume that 4 spots are taken (Austin, Bailey, Quick, Britt) - let's look at what is left:
Givens was our #1 wr last year. He had a bit of a sophomore slump - was invisible at times - but his strengths don't match up with Clemons strengths at all anyway - so hard to tell.
I know that he was disappointed with his year - will he find the motivation and work ethic to be a factor on this team?
Austin Pettis has been reliable but not spectacular. Good strong hands, good size, good awareness - he is a nice 4th or 5th receiver and finds the end zone fairly often.
Will it be a surprise player or two? TJ Moe? Veltung? Franklin? Blake?
We know Bailey has given someone 4 weeks of grace - which is kind of nice in a way - gives the coaches a little more time to look things over.
If I had to guess at it - 6 WRs make the 53 man (including Pettis and Givens) Once Bailey comes back, either Pettis or Givens will be in street clothes depending on who we are playing.
I wouldn't be shocked though to see either one (or even both) get cut.
