All right, since there wasn't much at the second practice to update, I thought I'd answer a few questions. So here we go:

Aram, I have an idea of who might make the practice squad, but I'll hold that close to my vest for now. Same with veterans. But if you follow my coverage, you probably have a good sense of where certain guys stand.

Kirby, Aug. 29 is the first cutdown to 75 players. That means nine players will be cut. I believe there might be some NFL Europe exemptions. But I have to double check.

Then, on Sept. 2, the roster has to be down to 53.

Moria, I just don't see any way Cook gets cut, under any circumstance. It sure would be embarrassing to cut him right as a rookie. I will say that I thought he's shown signs of improvement over the past two days. He's done a better job of handling the pass rushers.

Greg, no one really stands out. The team is fairly young.
