Omit Lutz, early reports is that he's not quite ready just yet.

With Smith coming back I suspect Hogan gets demoted. Crawley could cost Heath or Trufant.

I might be in the minority here but I’d keep Trufant before I keep Crawley

Crawley was looking very good before the injury. Someone has to go. That's why I mentioned Heath. We've got decent depth at safety and it seems like CB's get nicked up more often.

Honestly I forgot Trufant was on the roster.

Yea, a lot is asked of them. But game day Crawley can be hit or miss that’s my knock on him. I’d let Heath go. Trufant showed he can still play fairly decently and has graded decent with pff, though that isn’t scripture

And that's pretty much why I listed him as the possible cut.

Yea, that was the knock on him his first stint with us, but he really looked locked in early this year.

I hope he did, AG. I think Kris Richard is doing wonders with this secondary. Glenn was an upgrade from McGriff but Richard has that secondary playing like a Saints version of the legion of boom

That is the tough part, could be hard to make room. Perhaps Montgomery can/will get a few carries once the WR position gets health, offsetting some of my concern about long-term RB depth.

Armah. He's the guy.
