I first thought no way on 7 WRs, but its 6 with Patterson so that works. I'm going to start listing him as OFF-SKill position: Patterson Looks good riczaj01.

80 man roster Aug 7, 2020 9:53:19 GMT -6

"Health and safety are paramount as the NFL endeavors to play a sport totally incompatible with physical distancing."

I thought this raised some interesting questions regarding roster sizes and composition. It is a long article and this is just a snippet from it.

NFL amid COVID-19: Smaller rosters raise many questions that are yet to be answered
Will UDFAs have to be cut? Should there be small, team-specific bubbles? Here's what GMs are asking

As rookies report to training camps with veterans not far behind, general managers and personnel chiefs across the NFL are still looking for guidance on just how many players can be on their rosters this season.

The 90-man rosters we've come accustomed to may shrink to 80 to start training camp. Or 90 will be allowed to begin camp with teams working their way to 80 after a certain amount of time. At this point, no one is sure.

Health and safety are paramount as the NFL endeavors to play a sport totally incompatible with physical distancing. And with the erasure of all preseason games, it is clear team owners and players are aligned in making sure unnecessary risk is eliminated in the pursuit of beginning a 17-week regular season.

But there are basic roster questions that GMs across the league still don't have answers to. Several sources I've spoken with this week remain flummoxed on whether they'll have to cut undrafted free agents who they gave big (guaranteed) signing bonuses to back in April. If a player tests positive for COVID-19 upon return to the facility in the coming days, will he count on the roster or receive an exemption? Will GMs be forced to cut players before they can get them in the building for a physical, much less before a conditioning test and weeks before they ever get on the field?

There are pertinent questions with less immediacy, too. How big will practice squads be? Will there be certain "protected" players? Will players be able to accrue a season toward their pension while languishing on the practice squad? Though important and necessary to the start of the regular season, these questions don't have to be worked out before players report to camp.

It's not exactly the hardest part of the job for GMs to figure out how to cull a roster from 90 to 80. Most years a good team beat reporter can figure out 45 to 48 of the team's eventual 53-man roster before camp even starts. But the 10 or so players in peril here figure into teams' long-term plans far more than any starting job in Week 1.

It's entirely conceivable that a UDFA with a fat signing bonus won't take the field for his team whenever practices begin in August. Might a GM cut a late-round draft pick because of a need at another position group?

All of this depends on the construction of the roster. One GM noted to me that he'll look more at the position groups that are older or more prone to injury. If most of your starting linebackers are grizzled vets that you anticipate giving vet days to, maybe you keep down-the-roster linebackers to fill in for those off days.

Another GM noted it's harder to find quality guys in the trenches, so one team may be more inclined to keep offensive and defensive linemen as opposed to a ninth or 10th receiver that may be considered a dime a dozen.
