Training camp in well underway and the preseason is right around the corner. Slightly farther away is teams setting their 53-man regular season roster. There is a lot of time left and anything can happen, from injuries to performing badly to even getting suspended. Hopefully for the Broncos injuries are kept minor and no suspensions come down.

With everything so close, teams have some idea on who will make it. During the preseason the players on the borderline will see a lot more playing time than those who are a lock to make the roster. During the preseason spots are won and lost, so it is on the player to grab their spot or on them if they lose it. If you don’t perform you don’t make the cut.

Last week, the linebackers were looked at. Of course right after it came out training camp started and one player, who wasn’t making the roster, is shining and seeing time with the first unit. Goes to show that these predictions aren’t set in stone and anything can happen.

This time the predictions come down for the running backs followed by the special teams players.
