Seantavious Jones promoted to 53 man roster so we will go into game day with 5 WR's. Don't know the corresponding roster move.

Released Hightower and McGlyn
Placed Davis Tull on IR

Exactly. And there is only ONE football...

Please don't forget that we have running backs as well...

With five-plus offensive linemen that have to be paid to block so any one of those other ten offensive players can break the goalline plane for us...

And there's that thing with the defense...

It's not about how many balls there are; it's about depth/fatigue/injuries/options. Pretty difficult to run a 4 WR or 2 TE set if you don't have the healthy players to do it
