On the Bubble (27)

Kylin Hill, Devin Funchess, Malik Taylor, Dominique Dafney, Jace Sternberger, Lucas Patrick, Jon Runyan Jr., Ben Braden, Dennis Kelly, Yosh Nijman, Cole Van Lanen, Jake Hanson, Dean Lowry, Tyler Lancaster, Jonathan Garvin, Tipa Galeai, Kamal Martin, Isaiah McDuffie, Oren Burks, Ty Summers, Chandon Sullivan, Kabian Ento, Shemar Jean-Charles, Isaac Yiadom, Will Redmond, Henry Black, Vernon Scott

There are a couple of different categories within this bubble tier. The guys most likely to make the roster include Hill, Patrick, Runyan Jr., Braden, Lowry, Lancaster, Martin, and Sullivan. However, crazier things have happened than any of those guys missing out.

The second group are guys locked into an intense battle that still has another chapter yet to be written. Funchess and Taylor are a toss-up at receiver at this point, Dafney will likely make the roster with Sternberger serving a two-game suspension to begin the season, Kelly, Nijman, Van Lanen, and Hanson are part of a crowded offensive line group, Martin, McDuffie, Burks and Summers are in the same at inside linebacker, while Ento, Jean-Charles, Yiadom and Redmond, Black and Scott battle it out at their respective positions.
