This is our last set of projections for the final roster.

Quarterback
The Dobbs deal makes it clear that Murray will start the season on PUP and have to miss at least the first four games.

Howerton makes it for versatility. He gives them a backup center if Gaines can’t play for a while and can play guard and tackle. He played left tackle in the preseason finale.
Defensive line
Rashard Lawrence doesn’t make it.
