I have an unbalanced roster to account for the defensive injuries. Clinton McDonald makes the roster over a backup guard or 6th WR while the team waits for Mebane and Hill to get healthy. I’m not sold on this idea to be honest, but it’s the only way to make sure there’s a proper rotation for the first couple games.
