Well with, Jackson, James, Wilson, Taylor, Evans, and Carter, I think that Jackson, Evans and Wilson are the possible cuts. They can only keep two of them. I understand that Evans is known as a run stuffer and plays tackle, but maybe they see more upside in Wilson and Jackson. I think that, which DE's to keep will be one of the toughest decisions. As far as I am concerned, if the season started today, Jackson makes the team. That leaves Wilson and Evans as two guys that have done little in preseason.

Making a cut at this position is going to be tough. How is the PUP list work? Maybe they can put James in there?

James was on the PUP list where I thought they would keep him, but they removed him from that list last week. I thought they would just keep him there, so they could keep more DE's, in the event of an injury. But it looks like they intend to play him next week and keep him on the active roster.

James can not be put on PUP to start the season now.

James Activated; Huntley Released

Defensive end Erasmus James has passed his physical and will be activated from the physically unable to perform list.
That means someone had to go and that someone is Kevin Huntley, a veteran defensive end who had failed to move up the depth chart. He's a DC area guy who had spent some time with Atlanta, but after the Jason Taylor trade and with James getting healthy, Huntley was expendable.
Back at practice (players in shells and shorts) this morning are LaRon Landry, Rock Cartwright, James, Devin Thomas and Chris Horton. Vernon Fox is back after missing Saturday's game for personal reasons.
Not practicing are H.B. Blades, Shawn Springs, Malcolm Kelly, Stephon Heyer, and Anthony Mix.
Both Todd Yoder or Lorenzo Alexander have been excused from practice, for reasons to be determined.
BTW, send your questions to Jalaca, who'll be chatting at 11:45.

Rob Jackson is not going to make it over Evans, because Rob Jackson is a candidate for the practice squad. To me it comes down to Rob Jackson vs. Chris Wilson. We all know what Chris Wilson can do, he's a situational rusher. Jackson has looked really good in preseason with 3tcks 2scks and 1ff. If Wilson makes it over Jackson, Jackson can easily be placed on the PS, but if Jackson makes it over Wilson, Wilson will be gone because I don't think he's eligible for the PS.

I think they are both eligible for the practice squad, Wilson was considered a rookie last year. My opinion is neither one will make it on the practice squad. Jackson has done to much this year and Wilson did to much last year.
