Naturally this is just a best guess right now.  This roster is missing Patrick Peterson, who will be suspended for the first six games.  It is also missing Robert Alford who is injured but right now no indication how much time he will miss.

Alford could end up on IR, which would end his season (or could be designated to return).  Also Max Garcia could start the season on PUP, which would put him out the first part of the season.  He is currently on that list. If Garcia can’t go, enter Jeremy Vujnovich.

Cornerback Brandon Williams and running back Dontae Strickland are also on the outside looking in.  Williams is a special teams contributor, so he might be left on in favor of someone else.  Strickland could very well end up on the practice squad.
