Hogan will give brady another reliable target and will take pressure off of Cooks.
And we saw what the linebacker corps looked like when van noy was injured...
I am thinking that Gilly practicing is largely for scout team purposes. No other back on the team is near Henry's size.
They all want to play. There will be 7 inactives. Most will come from the injury report. You pick.

This time inactive list will be in most part a true barometer of what the playoffs team will look like.
There are 55 players in my estimate competing for 46 spots (53 on the current roster + MM and Reilly)
If MM is activated and/or Reilly is promoted by 4pm that would mean they are making the active team and Grissom and Britt are out IMO.
3 most likely inactives are Croston, Harris and Gillislee.
Next one will be one of Branch / RJF.
Last 3 spots will likely be between Britt*/Hollister, Grissom*/Lee, Burkhead/ST.
Grigsby could be the ST guy losing out since he's not playing on D but he really played well since he came in (much better than Grissom in my view).
There should be likely at least one surprise inactive..
If MM is activated
That’s probably the way they’ll end up going. Having options is likely the better choice. It also avoids the need to make a corresponding roster move today.I'd be shocked if he is activated. It would mean either MM is looking outstanding at practice, Hogan being ready is mirage, or Dorsett-Britt are looking quite poor in practice.
Otherwise keep MM as a freeby practice player and let the decision be made after the Titans game (a decision could end up a default based upon post game injury status).
you show the ridiculousness of the this statistic by pointing out that you can interpret the results 3 or 4 different ways to a zero conclusion.
It’s kind of one of those “I’ll believe it when I see it” type of situations, especially with full attendance and a multitude of options. We’ll have to see. He may simply be playing a backup/deep roster role here this season, and I’m fine with that if it’s the case.I think Harris has a chance to be active in the upcoming two games. There is a place for a player like him especially against the Titans.
The luxury problems of having full attendance.

I just don't see how Harris is even a long shot for active status unless injury causes multiple inactives. Running the numbers:
Specialists: 3 locks
Offense: 2 QB, 3 TE locks, 7 OL locks
WR: 6 locks of DA, Cooks, Hogan, Britt, Dorsett, Slater.
RBs: 5 locks of Lewis, Bolden, Develin, White, Burk. (1) Gill is inactive
OL: (1) Croston inactive
26 total for specialists and offense(STs/offense). 2 inactives.
Defense has 25 players with 5 needing to be inactive:
Secondary-9: Gilmore, Butler, Jones, Rowe, Bademosi, DMac, Chung, Richardson, Harmon are locks. (1)King ???
LBs-5: KVN, Roberts, Flowers, Harrison, Lee are locks (2)Grigsby, Harris ???
DL 6: Flowers, Guy, Brown, Wise, Butler, Branch, (locks). (2) RJF, Grissom ???
My memory might be slipping on the roster but the inactives equal Harris, Grissom, Grigsby, Gill, Croston, RJF, King. I don't know, maybe Richardson is inactive? for RJF or maybe for KIn or Grissom STs? But I cannot find any mix/numbers that results in Harris making it to the active roster.

One could argue that having more athletic LBs is the way to go against Mariota, and it’s hard to imagine Harris getting the nod over Roberts. We’re expecting a larger role for Harrison. M.Flowers will almost certainly be used. KVN is returning. I just don’t see much of a role for Harris, although I could be wrong of course.
If the others are healthy, there is no reason for Gillislie to be active.
Harris is the better choice as long as the edge is set.IDK, between Roberts and Harris, which is more likely to get too aggressive and overrun the play allowing Mariota (or Henry) to escape?
