Packers 53-Man Roster Predictions:
(Note: With regards to suspended player Erik Walden, our prognosticators had the option (as the Packers do) of either adding a 53rd player for week one or going with 52. If going with 52, then there can be no third year practice squad players (Anthony Levine and Graham Harrell are eligible). In either case, Walden will not be used in our roster predictions. (nor will Mike Neal, suspended for four games to start the season)
Also, with regards to the IR exception approved today, the Packers can designate one player on IR to be eligible to come back after six weeks. If the Packers choose that person to be Desmond Bishop, then they have to temporarily put him back on the roster for the final 53 (cutting another player in the process). If they don’t designate Bishop in this way (indications are they won’t) then he does not have to be included on the 53 man roster. Our selections will include him or not, based on that criteria.

Good lists.
Do you guys think James Jones will get traded? If I were Miami, He is just the type of guy I would want to rebuild my recievers around, high charactor.
I was suprised no one kept Boykin. I think he could be great. But Gurley is a special teams contributor. I would be suprised if Boykin makes it to the practice squad.
I wonder If House could be put on the new IR and be reactivated when he has had more time to heal? Also could Sherrod be placed on the PUP as he did not practice at all in preseason?
RESULTS ARE IN!
Thomas: 51
Al, Kris: 50
Marques, Adam, Chad: 49
Congrats, Thomas! He only missed the surprise moves in keeping Boykin and Ross, keeping Muir and Sherrod instead.
