That I don't think so. Teams like to have their punter set coming out of TC because usually the punter is the holder and they want to work with the kicker before then. If a injury happens he might be on a short list of teams to be called.

I don't know Pugger. He just doesn't have that NFL hang time yet. Too many line drives. On the other hand, he is an accomplished holder.

Was thinking about the WR some more, and the more I think about it, I think we're keeping 5, 6 max.
Look at it this way: the top three guys in targets this year are most likely to be Jordy, Cobb and Cook. Lacy and Starks will combine to be just below that tier, on par with Cook. Then you have a tier of Adams and Richard Rodgers. Davante still running with the starters which says they believe in him and he's not going anywhere.
That leaves Monty, Abby, Davis, Allison, Janis (as the other guys in the race) competing for, what, a combined 40 potential targets between the lot of them? It's just not enough action to keep 1-2 extra guys.

Right now I would put Janis on IR and IMO Nelson, Cobb, Adams, Montgomery are all locks. Abbrederis has been playing to well to be cut. That leaves 5 guys right there. So if they keep 6 it comes down to Davis and Allison. Davis is a draft pick but has shown very little in camp but Ted seems to favor draft picks. Allison is a UDFA but has been having a great camp. Will be interesting to see if Ted gives up on Davis and keeps Allison.
I could see Janis on I.R. to start the season. With a club on his hand he's useless on offense, and he can't return any kicks so has lost some value for ST. Let him get healthy and bring him back later as there will likely be a WR injury at some point during the season. (Though I hope not.)
I think they will keep 6 because they will only keep 2xQB and have no reason to keep more than 3xTE. I'm sure they'd love to stash Allison on the PS, but that may not be possible, especially if he gets a bunch of snaps in KC and looks good. There are teams that will stash him as their #6 guy because he's better than what most teams have at the bottom of their roster.

I guess my point is that regardless of who has looked like what, the guys we're hemming and hawing over keeping are unlikely to be contributors. We need depth in case of injury of course but I see more contributors in the secondary or needed DL and OL depth being more important.

Thing is I don't see anyone in camp that can help be a contributor on the DL outside of who we already got they are all UDFA and none have stood out. Same on the OL you got who your main core of starters and backups were last year plus a couple draft picks don't see anyone else as a UDFA making the club on the OL.

A friend went up to the practice today and said Janis and Jordy both looked pretty good during the portions he saw.
Janis had one particular route and catch that waloukd have been impressive even without the club, and was even more so with it.

Evidently Janis practiced yesterday with a club on his broken hand.
