"Up until now, our looks at the New York Giants’ potential season-opening 53-man roster have included “locks, bubble players, and long shots.” With only one preseason game remaining, we now move to a true roster projection.There will be a final projection after the third preseason game, which will be Thursday against the New York Jets. Teams must be at the 53-man regular-season roster limit by 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, Aug. 30.OFFENSE (27)Quarterback (2)IN: Jaxson Dart, Jameis WinstonOut: Brandon Allen, Jake HaenerThe question here is which of Allen and the recently-signed Haener the Giants choose to keep on their practice squad.Running back (4)IN: Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy, Devin Singletary, Najee HarrisOut: Eric Gray, Damon BankstonYes, I am keeping Tracy despite the mistakes he made in each of the first two preseason games. Unless a running back-needy team buzzes GM Joe Schoen’s phone and offers draft capital worth accepting, I think the Giants would regret letting Tracy go.Head coach John Harbaugh was asked about Tracy during his Sunday call with New York media.“I don’t think you say, hey, a bad play or even two bad plays nullifies a whole career body of work, so to speak,” Harbaugh said. “And even in the game, he played well. He had numerous good runs, catches, pass protection pickups were good, but he had the one play that’s the one thing you don’t want to have as a running back. And in the last two games, he’s had two things you don’t want to have.“So, nobody feels worse about it than he does. I mean, he’s very conscientious, very determined guy. It matters a lot to him, so he’s beating himself up. But the rest of the plays were all good. They were all pluses. So, you don’t hold it against him. At the same time, you understand how valuable and important those things are to your football team, and he knows as well. So, it’s just a balancing act that way.”Fullback (1)IN: Patrick RicardOut: Grant FinleyNothing to see here. I wonder if the Giants will keep the 6-foot-4, 281-pound Finley, like Ricard a player with defensive tackle experience, on the practice squad in hopes of turning him into Ricard 2.0.Tight end (3)IN: Isaiah Likely, Theo Johnson, Chris ManhertzOut: Tanner Conner, Thomas FidoneI really would like to keep Fidone on the roster. With Ricard able to line up at times as a blocking tight end, though, I just don’t see how to make it happen.Wide receiver (7)IN: Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, Calvin Austin, Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields, Braxton Berrios, Dalen CambreOut: Odell Beckham Jr., Ryan Miller, Xavier Gipson, Isaiah Hodgins, Jalin HyattThe decision here is between Beckham and Cambre. Today, I am choosing Cambre for his special teams ability. In my final roster prediction? Unknown.I do believe there is a scenario in which the Giants could make a trade to open a spot for Beckham. Such a deal would likely involve Mooney or Slayton — probably Mooney based on Slayton carrying a $12.25 million base salary in 2026.I also believe there is a scenario where the Giants keep six wide receivers, and neither Beckham nor Cambre makes the 53. Or, even one where they keep six, Mooney gets dealt, and Beckham gets the last spot with the Giants hoping to slide Cambre to the practice squad.Offensive line (10)IN: Andrew Thomas, Jon Runyan, John Michael Schmitz, Francis Mauigoa, Jermaine Eluemunor, Marcus Mbow, Josh Ezeudu, Aaron Stinnie, J.C. Davis, Lucas PatrickOut: Bryan Hudson, Evan Neal, Ryan Schernecke, Jake Kubas, Jarrod Gray (International Exemption), Brendan JaimesI think 10 offensive linemen is heavy, but after the way he played on Saturday I doubt there is any chance the Giants can get Davis through waivers to the practice squad. The only way to ensure keeping him is to have him on the 53-man roster.I don’t know you justify cutting any of the other guys. Patrick has been the No. 2 center since the spring, and there is zero indication the Giants want to change that. Mbow is the swing tackle. Ezeudu offers them guard/tackle flexibility on the right side, and has earned a spot. Stinnie is a plug-and-play veteran who can step in at either guard.DEFENSE (23)Defensive line (6)IN: D.J. Reader, Darius Alexander, Shelby Harris, Chauncey Golston, Leki Fotu, Josh TupouOut: Bobby Jamison-Travis, Zacch Pickens, Anquin Barnes Jr., Marlon DavidsonI don’t like the idea of exposing Jamison-Travis to waivers. I do think there is a better chance Jamison-Travis gets through waivers to the practice squad than Davis, simply based on the amount of NFL film available on both players.Still, I have Tupou making the roster ahead of Jamison-Travis, but I could be convinced to flip that.Off-ball linebacker (4)IN: Arvell Reese, Tremaine Edmunds, Micah McFadden, Jack KellyOut: Darius Muasau, Zaire Barnes, Chandler Martin, Anfernee OrjiI do wonder if the Giants will find space for one of Martin, Barnes, or Muasau as a special teams player. Here, I did not. You can certainly make an argument that I should have.Edge defender (3)IN: Brian Burns, Abdul Carter, Kayvon ThibodeauxOut: Khalid Kareem, Trace Ford, Caleb MurphyGolston might end up starting on the defensive line. I have considered him as the fourth edge defender. If he is taking a heavy load of defensive line snaps, perhaps there is a spot open for one of Kareem, Ford, or Murphy. If that happens, I don’t know who would lose a job at another position.Cornerback (6)IN: Paulson Adebo, Greg Newsome II, Colton Hood, Dru Phillips, Deonte Banks, Art GreenOut: Korie Black, Nic Jones, Ugo AmadiI considered keeping Black, but seven cornerbacks just seems like one too many. Especially since Ar’Darius Washington can drop down and play cornerback if needed.Safety (4)IN: Jevon Holland, Tyler Nubin, Ar’Darius Washington, Jason PinnockOut: Elijah Campbell, Beau Brade, Raheem Layne, J.T. WoodsI would like to keep Campbell, a veteran special teams player, I just don’t know how.SPECIAL TEAMS (3)IN: Jordan Stout (punter), Dominic Zvada (placekicker), Ben Mann (long-snapper)Out: Ben Sauls (placekicker)No surprises here. Zvada over Sauls has been the call for a while.Final thoughtsFirst of all, yes, I know that 27 offensive and 23 defensive players is an imbalance. I don’t like it, but that is how it worked out. My final projection will probably be slightly different. As of today, though, I am not willing to drop Cambre or any of the reserve offensive linemen.Many things can happpen. Injuries, trades, players shining against the New York Jets on Friday and winning spots. Me being wrong. There are a lot of possibilities.This exercise has been hard. Really hard. And decisions across the roster can be questioned. That is actually a good thing. It indicates that there are NFL-caliber players who won’t make the team."

"Head coach John Harbaugh and general manager Joe Schoen face some excruciatingly difficult decisions when it comes to setting the New York Giants’ season-opening 53-man roster. That is the most important ‘thing I think’ after Saturday’s one-sided 26-3 victory over the Miami Dolphins.“There’s a lot of guys fighting for jobs on this team,” Harbaugh said after the game. “And I thought they came out and they made a point to try to make their case. And they did a good job of it.”Here is a look at five of the places where decisions need to be made.Running backThis really becomes the Tyrone Tracy question.The addition of Najee Harris has changed the equation. Do the Giants have room to keep five running backs, including fullback Patrick Ricard?Harris, Cam Skattebo, and Ricard are staying. In my view, so is Devin Singletary. The veteran back just keeps making plays, and his reliability is clearly something Harbaugh appreciates. Here is what Harbaugh said about Singletary after he gained 40 yards on eight carries, including a 13-yard touchdown run, Saturday:“He did great. He played like he always plays. He is one of the most consistent players you’re ever going to see.”Which leads us to Tracy.He is a good player. Back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons from scrimmage are nothing to sneeze at. He did not compile those seasons for Harbaugh, though. What he has done for Harbaugh is make huge mistakes in two straight games. No matter what he did for Brian Daboll the past two seasons, if Harbaugh doesn’t trust him to keep Jaxson Dart healthy or hold on to the ball, how or why would he use him?I believe Tracy should stay. He is a good back. What, though, if the Giants look at their roster and think five backs is one too many? Could they swing a deal for Tracy like the one they did for Daniel Faalele?Wide receiverUnless they have injuries we don’t know about, the way to take Darnell Mooney and Braxton Berrios not dressing for Saturday’s game is that their roster spots are secure.That means six wide receivers — Malik Nabers, Mooney, Berrios, Malachi Fields, Calvin Austin, Darius Slayton — have roster spots.Can the Giants find room for a seventh? And, would that seventh be the sentimental choice, Odell Beckham Jr., or the special teams ace, Dalen Cambre?There are arguments for both. Beckham can still get open, but can’t play special teams and would likely be the last receiver on the depth chart. Cambre is a special teams first player, but keeps showing he can be useful if needed as a receiver.Offensive lineHow many offensive linemen can the Giants keep? And, which ones should be the backups?One player who has earned a spot is Josh Ezeudu. Of course, this happened in the second half on Saturday so Ezeudu’s health is now a question we have to ask Harbaugh about when he holds a call with media Sunday afternoon:Until recently, I felt rookie sixth-round pick J.C. Davis was headed to the practice squad. Now? After he played 81 snaps, and played them well, at left tackle against the Dolphins there is no chance the Giants get him through waivers to the practice squad. He has to be on the 53-man roster.Marcus Mbow, Aaron Stinnie, and Lucas Patrick also should have roster spots. Can the Giants keep 10 offensive linemen? I’m not sure how.Jake Kubas has played well in two preseason games. You can even make a case that Evan Neal has looked like a competent NFL guard, and deserves consideration.CornerbackThe cornerback position isn’t so much about who makes the team. Paulson Adebo, Greg Newsome, Deonte Banks, Dru Phillips, Colton Hood, and Art Green seem secure. Could 2025 seventh-round pick Korie Black make the team as a seventh cornerback? Maybe.The real question comes down to who lines up against receivers from the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1? Phillips is the nickel cornerback, with occasional help from safety Ar’Darius Washington. As of yet, though, there isn’t a clear answer about how the Giants will decide amongst Adebo, Newsome, Banks, and Hood.I believe Adebo and Newsome emerge as the starters Week 1, but we’ll see.Defensive lineChauncey Golston has emerged as a starter in the base defense because he is a more reliable run defender than Darius Alexander. Golston, Alexander, D.J. Reader, and Shelby Harris should occupy four roster spots.Leki Fotu has had a good summer, and might have the inside track on a roster spot. Josh Fotou was impressive against the Minnesota Vikings. Zacch Pickens and sixth-round pick Bobby Jamison-Travis were impactful Saturday against the Dolphins. There aren’t enough roster spots for eight interior defensive linemen."

"The New York Giants had an easy time manhandling the Miami Dolphins on Saturday, winning 26-3. Let’s review the game in our traditional ‘Kudos & Wet Willies’ style.Kudos to …Darius Slayton — Recovering from double sports hernia surgery, Slayton has had a quiet summer. He had a loud first half, with four catches for 58 yards. He set up the Giants’ first touchdown with a 29-yard catch-and-run on a third-and-5.Jameis Winston — The Giants’ backup quarterback played the entire first half. He went 15 of 21 for 150 yards, ran for an 11-yard score, and led a nice two-minute drive for a field goal. Good work!Devin Singletary — The eighth-year running back doesn’t get anywhere in a hurry. He isn’t exactly a burner. He does, though, keep on making plays and being dependable. John Harbaugh will like both of those things. Singletary made a terrific cutback on his 13-yard touchdown run, and finished with 40 yards rushing on eight carries.The secondary — I made this a blanket ‘Kudos’ for many of the guys who played in the first half.Greg Newsome had a pass defensed and was aggressive in run support.Deonte Banks was excellent. He was sticky in coverage, and had two passes defensed. He also made an an excellent, aggressive run stop. That would not have happened a year ago.Tyler Nubin missed a tackle on the opening kickoff, but was solid defensively. He had a pass defensed, continuing his tendency this summer of getting his hands on the ball more often. Early Pro Football Focus grades gave him an elite 90.4 grade.Dru Phillips gave up a 30-yard catch (and committed pass interference on the play), but responded with run stops and forced fumbles on his next two plays.I can’t point to a specific play, but Paulson Adebo started and also appeared to play well.Bobby Jamison-Travis — The rookie sixth-round pick needed a game in which he made a couple of plays, and he delivered one on Saturday. He got a sack, and even showed us that there is a new No. 97 sack dance in town:J.C. Davis — The rookie sixth-round pick went the distance at left tackle in a performance that probably solidified a spot for him on the 53-man roster. In early grades from PFF, Davis scored an 86.6, best among offensive players. Davis played 53 total snaps. In 33 pass-blocking snaps, PFF had him with just one pressure allowed.Offensive line overall — Giants’ quarterbacks were sacked only once, and there were holes for all of the backs to run through. Well, except for poor Damon Bankston and his seven carries for 5 yards at the end of the game. Dare I say that there may actually be depth on the line. The Giants must think so, since they traded Daniel Faalele a few days ago.Dalen Cambre — The second-year wide receiver/special teamer did not enter the game until the second half. When he got on the field, he made the most of it. Cambre made the tackle on the opening kickoff of the second half, and had three catches in three targets for 26 yards.More importantly, all three of Cambre’s catches resulted in first downs.On third-and-7, he caught an 8-yard pass from Brandon Allen.On third-and-8, Cambre caught a 9-yard pass from Allen.On yet another third-and-8, Cambre caught a 9-yard pass from Jake Haener.Calvin Austin — Austin had a 21-yard rush, two receptions for 24 yards, and two punt returns for 29 yards. He will help the Giants in 2026.Related coverageWet Willies to …Tyrone Tracy — Two preseason games, two major gaffes for Tracy. In Week 1 against the Minensota Vikings, he missed a blitz pickup resulting in a huge hit on quarterback Jaxson Dart. On Saturday, after runs of 11 and 12 yards, an untouched Tracy fumbled away a scoring opportunity.Tracy probably also fumbled away playing time with Najee Harris on the roster, and Singletary looking spry. Did he fumble away a roster spot?The miscues are unfortunate, because Tracy can be a plus in both the run and pass games. This, though, is a new coaching staff and they will go by what they are seeing with their own eyes.Darius Alexander — The second-year defensive tackle had a quarterback hit, but his overall play left a lot to be desired. His early 33.8 PFF grade was the lowest of any Giants’ defender. Alexander has been in both preseason games in the third quarter, and it is mostly because the Giants need better run defense from the 2025 third-round pick. There is a reason why Chauncey Golston has been starting on the defensive line.Maybe I was also influenced by the number of times Carl Banks spoke during the broadcast about Alexander needing to give the Giants more.Kwillies to …Odell Beckham Jr. — While fans, and even Harbaugh, are rooting for Beckham, his chance of making the season-opening 53-man roster remains murky. Yes, he can still get open. Yes, he had a 12-yard catch. Two catches for 17 yards and a dropped touchdown pass aren’t going to cut it, though. Not when the wide receiver room is as deep as it is, and other guys are making plays.You just can’t miss chances to make impact plays when you are fighting for a roster spot."

"The New York Giants beat up on the Miami Dolphins on Saturday in a one-sided 26-3 victory. It was clear from the joint practice that the Giants were a superior roster; reports from practice suggested that the Giants’ defense destroyed the first-team Miami offense — a first-team Miami offense that mostly rested in this preseason game.New York rested most of their players, other than some presumed starters who did not play in preseason Week 1: Greg Newsome II, Paulson Adebo, Dru Phillips, and John Michael Schmitz. The Giants defense smothered Miami’s offense, which was led by quarterbacks Cam Miller and Mark Gronowski. Miami barely eclipsed 100 total yards, as the Giants controlled the air and ground.But of course, Miami’s roster is devoid of proven talent, and they rested their starters. Still, it was nice to see New York have a dominating win for a change — it’s an uncommon experience of late for the Giants. New York had 393 total yards, as both of their trenches dominated. These grades will be positive — let’s hope that energy is maintained when the regular season rolls around.QuarterbackJameis Winston is a pro’s pro and comported himself well. He finished 15 of 21 for 150 yards with an 11-yard rushing touchdown. Brandon Allen relieved Winston in the second-half; he converted a first down but quickly suffered a sack that resulted in an eventual punt. Allen missed a pair of open receivers, and was fairly conservative. He did complete 13 of 18 passes for 101 yards. Overall, Allen played better than he did last week, but he still missed plays.Jake Haener, whom the Giants signed earlier this week, played the final seven minutes of the game and mostly handed the ball to Eric Gray.Grade: B+Running BackTyrone Tracy Jr. started the game behind Devin Singletary, but the third-year back quickly found his rhythm. He ripped off two runs of 10-plus yards and helped the Giants move into the red zone. Unfortunately, wet conditions contributed to a fumble by Tracy Jr., giving the ball away deep in enemy territory with a chance to extend the lead to two scores — a mistake that will never sit well with the coaching staff.Still, it’s worth noting that Tracy was running effectively before the turnover. Tracy had a positive blitz pickup, but also whiffed on one with 32 seconds left in the first half.Singletary ran decisively and found holes on under center runs. He looked good and capped off a drive with a 13-yard touchdown run:Singletary finished with eight carries for 40 yards with a touchdown and one catch for four yards. Tracy Jr. had six carries for 26 yards (4.3 YPC) with three catches for 22 yards. Eric Gray and Damon Bankston took most of the second-half snaps at the running back position. Gray did have 10 carries for 33 yards with six catches for 37 yards.Grade: B+Wide ReceiverOdell Beckham Jr. had a 12-yard comeback and also drew a pass interference with the Giants driving down the field in the final minute of the first half. Beckham had a drop in the end zone at the end of the first half that left four points on the board after Dominic Zvada’s field goal. It wasn’t the easiest play, but one that Beckham should have made.Calvin Austin III was quick and effective underneath. He caught a quick pass and took it 20 yards, and he also had another catch for four yards, while adding 21 yards on a jet sweep that easily gained the edge. Darius Slayton caught four of his six targets for 58 yards and was routinely getting open over the middle of the field. Dalen Cambre caught a few passes from Allen and Haener late in the game, as he continues to fight for a roster spot, primarily as a special teamer.Overall, the wide receivers didn’t have a massive impact, but it was great to see Slayton be effective, and it was evident that Austin III will have a role in the offensive 11 personnel package.Grade: B-Tight EndThe tight ends weren’t super involved in the passing attack. Chris Manhertz had a 22 personnel play-action shot designed toward him in the red zone, but it went incomplete. Theo Johnson caught a pass for 12 yards from Winston. Tanner Conner dropped a third-down pass but did secure one pass for 7 yards. Thomas Fidone II had four catches for 29 yards.Grade: B-Offensive LineThe Giants owned the point of attack and kept Winston clean throughout the first half. Marcus Mbow continued to impress at tackle, and Josh Ezeudu, as well as Evan Neal, did well run blocking. The first-, second-, and third- team offenses generated good push up front. The Giants rushed for 135 yards in the game.The “Greg Roman Effect” is creating a physical atmosphere, as players from the previous regime seem to be dictating more on the line of scrimmage, but AGAIN, this is a Miami Dolphins roster that is thin.Grade: ADefensive LineBobby Jamison-Travis earned a sack in the first quarter of the game to force a second-and-13. Zacch Pickens also earned a sack and had his name called a few times for holding the point of attack and playing well in the run game. Darius Alexander played into the second half, once again, and he almost came away with a safety early in the third quarter. His power-rushing ability is impressive.Marlon Davidson continued his strong preseason with a pass deflection in the third quarter, as Pickens pushed the pocket. The depth on the defensive line played well against Miami.Grade: A-EdgeBrian Burns, Abdul Carter, and Kayvon Thibodeaux did not dress in this game, leaving Chauncy Gholston as the number one edge defender. His presence was felt; his long arms were in passing lanes and he made one tackle near the line of scrimmage. Trace Ford displayed heavy hands and made a few impressive plays at the line of scrimmage against the run. Ford also earned a sack on a muffed snap by Miami.Grade: B+LinebackerArvell Reese was on the field early in the game, but left after the second series. He blew up a fullback on an iso run that was consistent with many of his physical plays from preseason Week 1. It was Micah McFadden who took many of the early snaps. McFadden played well, earning an early half-sack, and he recovered Phillips’ forced fumble in the first quarter. Zaire Barnes sniffed out a second-and-15 screen.Both Caleb Murphy and Jack Kelly flashed. Both are in direct competition with Darius Muasau to make the roster, and Muasau didn’t see the field until the threes buckled their helmets. Murphy finished with three tackles and looked physical.Grade: A+CornerbackGreg Newsome II did not dress in preseason Week 1, but his presence was felt early on Saturday against the Dolphins. Newsome II made an impressive run stop at the line of scrimmage on the Dolphins’ first drive, and then knocked a crossing route down on the subsequent play. Newsome II also did an excellent job blowing up an end-around; he kept leverage to the outside and hit the back out of bounds.Dru Phillips did not fare so well initially; he took a defensive pass interference penalty while surrendering the catch to Kevin Coleman Jr. Phillips, however, did bounce back strong with two physical plays, including a forced fumble.Starter Paulson Adebo saw action and kept his positive trajectory from his performance in the joint practice. Overall, the Giants’ cornerbacks were sticky in coverage and surrendered little space. The defense, in general, dominated Miami’s offense.Grade: A+SafetyTyler Nubin flashed as a safety and a special teams asset. He came away with a split-safety seam PBU to end the Dolphins’ first drive.Nubin finished with three tackles and this pass defensed. The starting job opposite Jevon Holland is still up in the air, but Nubin helped himself against the Dolphins. Jason Pinnock flashed some skill with a tackle near the line of scrimmage early.Grade: B+Special TeamsNubin missed a tackle on special teams but also made a big tackle on a punt return later on. Calvin Austin III had a 19-yard punt return at the end of the first quarter. Xavier Gibson had an impressive return, but it was called back by a Micah McFadden holding penalty that was a bit ticky-tacky. Still, it was pleasant to see Gibson find the crease and pick up 24-yards.Dominic Zvada and Ben Sauls both went 2 of 2 on field goals. Zvada hit from 43 and 34 yards, and Sauls from 27 and 37\ yards. Austin and Gipson looked impressive as returners, and Jordan Stout pinned a pair of punts inside the 20-yard line. To top it all off, Miami muffed a punt, and Beau Brade recovered it with less than two minutes left in the game; it was Caleb Murphy that laid the hit on the punt returner as well — another positive for the linebacker fighting for a roster spot.Grade: A +"

"Opportunities are dwindling for New York Giants players to impress the coaching staff in the competitions for playing time and roster spots. With that in mind, here are some of the potential storylines for Saturday’s preseason game agains the Miami Dolphins.Will any starters play?The answer is probably few, if any. Head coach John Harbaugh would only go so far on Thursday as to hint that some players would sit after Thursday’s joint practice with the Dolphins.“Certain guys, I’m sure, got enough work,” Harbaugh said. “Certain guys, we’ll have to talk about what we want to do.”Best guess — and it is just a guess — is that the only front-line players we will see are some of the rookies and a few of the players competing for starting jobs.Will we see Najee Harris?The veteran running back practiced for the first time on Tuesday. Perhaps surprisingly, he had a few carries on Thursday. Could we see Harris at least a little bit on Saturday?I don’t know, but I would personally like to see him get a couple of carries.Backup offensive line competitionThere were some interesting developments in the competition for backup offensive line spots over the past week. Daniel Faalele was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Josh Ezeudu emerged as a second-team guard, and took reps with the first team when Francis Mauigoa left Thursday’s practice with a stinger.Ezeudu apparently limped off the field himself on Thursday. Will we see him Saturday?What is going on at backup center? Veteran Lucas Patrick has been considered the likely backup to John Michael Schmitz, and that is probably still the case. Patrick, however, has missed some time during camp with knee issues. That has opened the door for Bryan Hudson and Jake Kubas. Kubas, a former undrafted free agent now in his third season, was excellent at both center and guard in the preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings. Could he push for a spot?What about Evan Neal? He has still been working with the third team. If neither Mauigoa or Ezuedu play Saturday, though, that should provide Neal an opportunity to play a ton of snaps to make a case for a roster.Let’s not forget rookie tackle J.C. Davis. The sixth-round pick has moved up the tackle depth chart with Ezeudu practicing at guard recently, but his path to a roster spot is not clear. Can he impress vs. the Dolphins.Cornerback competitionWho the starters are at cornerback remains unclear. Paulson Adebo had an interception on Thursday, but he has still been taking a lot of second-team reps. If he plays Saturday, that could be a sign that he isn’t guaranteed a starting role.Colton Hood, Deonte Banks, Greg Newsome, Art Green, and maybe even Korie Black are all battling for roles. Who will impress on Saturday?QB3After Brandon Allen’s disastrous two-interception performance in the second half against the Vikings, the Giants signed quarterback Jake Haener. The Giants probably are not keeping a third quarterback on the active roster, but will need one on the practice squad. Has Haener had enough time digest the playbook well enough that he could get into Saturday’s game and perhaps leapfrog Allen in an effort to earn that spot?"
