Kelly / Thomas -- Preseason time:

[Beemnseven]

In the pregame show on ESPN 980 yesterday, Vinny Cerrato says they should be able to play by the 4th preseason game against Carolina, on 8/23.

The wideout spot is tough because I still think they're only keeping five WRs on the 53-man roster. I don't see James Thrash getting cut, and despite missing all this playing time, Kelly and Thomas are virtually guaranteed a spot because of their draft status.

Sucks for guys like Billy McMullen who are giving it their all, but still probably won't make the team because there's just not enough room for six wideouts. McMullen is basically auditioning for other teams right now.

As for Anthony Mix, I still don't see why so many people are crazy about him. Word is that he's great on special teams, though I haven't seen anything to rave about there; and he's been non-existant as a pass catcher.
