I would be surprised if BB keeps 55 players. But you never know.

55 the number
By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff
When the Patriots finalize their roster cuts today, they won't have to include safety Rodney Harrison and cornerback Asante Samuel against the 53-man roster limit.
Harrison is suspended for the first four games of the regular season. The Patriots have been granted an exemption for Samuel through Sept. 10 (or until he is activated).
So technically, the Patriots will have 55 players by 4 p.m. today, which could influence some of the final roster decisions.
