Jackson, who had a rugged start to the preseason, steals Reaser’s spot as the backup nickel CB. Rashard Robinson Dontae Johnson K’Waun Williams Ahkello Witherspoon Asa JacksonĬut: Keith Reaser Will Redmond, Prince Charles Iworah, Will Davis

On the other hand, he’s still just 24 and has shown above-average pass-rush ability, one of the most prized traits in the NFL. That’s typically not an ominous sign, particularly in light of Lynch’s less-than-stellar work habits throughout his career. Yes, it gives me pause to place Lynch on the 53-man roster after watching him play extensively in the second half of the final two preseason games.

Celek didn’t play in the final preseason game, which I interpreted as a good sign for him. This became clearer after the trade of Vance McDonald. George Kittle Garrett Celek Logan Paulsen However, Shanahan covets speed and the undrafted rookie can fly and, presumably, develop as wideout. I was tempted to bypass the Bolden Bandwagon since the two-TD return standout hasn’t done much as a WR (one preseason catch and just-OK in training camp) and is similar in skill to Taylor and Kerley.

Who would have thunk it? Mostert, 25, on his seventh team since 2015 (that’s hard to do), gets the nod over Hightower because he’s six years younger, more versatile on special teams and more explosive as a RB.
