Quick Summary:
About 5 thread pages about Anchrum being cut because he was not at practice but he was not cut.
The roster stands at 53 but that does not include Hekker or Shelton who are on a COVID-list.
When they come-off that list, two players have to be released or placed on Injured Reserve. Sounds like Okoronkwo and Anchrum may go on IR, with an expectation they can return during the Season (unlimited IR returns this year ... believe a player must miss three games).
For me, biggest surprises were Lawler and Earnest Brown (but I am glad both Jonah Williams and Hoecht made it ... really like both).
For me, biggest disappointments were Kiser and Brewer; plus Xavier Jones (serious injury).
Also surprised only 4 CBs but 6 Safeties. However, I think they view Burgess as a hybrid CB/S/Slot.
Several of the above cuts can return as Practice Squad players. Hoping the list includes Lawler, Brown, Brewer, Trishton Jackson, Koski, Rozeboom, Orr, Banks and Meredith.

I thought Vested Veterans had to have 4 yrs accrued service? Hasn't Evans only got 3 years in?
EDIT: Sorry River, just saw your post after adding mine. Great minds though hey.....

If not , I am highly in favor of bringing in a vet like Adrian Peterson.
This is a very young RB room and IMO, they could use a veteran presence, leadership.
As of last year Peterson was still producing on a very bad Lions team.
I highly doubt both Hughes and Reed are still in the safety room one week from today. Seems the prime spot to cut to add a RB
I've been "Jack Youngblood" on various boards since the mid 90s, using several pics of the legend as an avatar. Maybe I need a new one here to differentiate myself.With that avatar I thought you were OS for a second there.
"Vested Veterans" sounds so cryptic. I feel like that whole thing blindsided me. A truck out of nowhere that T-Bones you on a left hand turn kind of thing. By all that I mean the term and clearing waivers.
Maybe I've been ignoring it. Or I've been under a rock or something. But either way I'm gonna play the old age card.
I mean it would be worthwhile for @Memento's reaction alone.
No just give it happy sparkles or something to pay homage to @OldSchool.I've been "Jack Youngblood" on various boards since the mid 90s, using several pics of the legend as an avatar. Maybe I need a new one here to differentiate myself.
I would hope that being on a winning team will re-light his fire and want him to stick around longer.
Yeah. Just realized I'm doing bong tokes and posting. But I didn't inhale. Or I can't remember.
I think Perkins will be worked into some read option type plays this year.
And with the number switch, we can try to sneak him in the game under the pretense of him being a RB and then having Stafford go out wide

Yeah, Evans is subject to waivers. Only 3 yrs of service
Gurley was coming off injury and there were many questions about him. Henderson’s Henderson.
I’m not saying they should go with 3 all year, just saying it was fine to start with. You can always add a back for that 4th spot easily.
I could see some roster-tweaking.
Two guys have to go once Hekker and Shelton come-off the COVID-list but I think those moves could be Okoronkwo and Anchrum to short-term-IR.
I am hoping for a fourth RB.
Jordan Howard was released by the Eagles. I was thinking about him before the Michel-deal. Also like some young RBs that were released, including Pooka Williams and Derrick Gore. If interested, the Rams may well need to carry them on the 53. Could see one of the six safeties being sacrificed for the roster-spot.

...I have an unlimited amount of GIFs, none of which will adequately express how much I fucking loathe the idea of Adrian Peterson suiting up in blue and gold.
