We’re approaching the beginning of training camp—which is terrific news! That means it’s time for my pre-camp 53-man roster projection, where I take my best shot at predicting the Falcons’ final roster heading into Week 1. Normally, these projections would change significantly with news from OTAs, minicamps, and other team activities. But in the wake of COVID-19, we’ve had...none of that. That makes an accurate prediction very difficult at this stage.
Before proceeding, I feel that it’s important to clarify some of the rule changes surrounding rosters in 2020. There’s a belief going around that rosters have increased in size to 55.
