So far today, the biggest names are WR Michael Bandy (expected, doubt he clears waivers for the practice squad) and DT Christian Covington (likely insuring Fehoko gets the last spot there).

This is good, thanks. No surprises yet, although Bandy is a
disappointment (and for me, Gaziano instead of Tillery, who apparently
made the team).

Latest updates: Kampmoyer, Nabers, Deluca, and Bailey all waived. All pretty much expected. Looks like the roster is shaking out how most of the beat writers expected.

Saw a tweet somewhere listing the top 4 players in receptions this preseason (Bandy was 2nd). Interestingly, 3 of the 4 including Bandy have already been waived or cut, and the fourth (Isaiah Hodgins of the Bills) has reportedly also been released though I haven't seen confirmation of that yet. Just goes to show that most teams probably have their 53 pretty well set in stone early in camp and the only competition is on the extreme bubble at positions where depth is more important, or being a special teams contributor helps elevate a marginal player over someone who might be better at the actual position.

Webb is a surprise, I guess it was due to his injuries.

Bandy, Gaziano, Jamal Davis were disappointments for me.

Looks like Ogbongbemiga beat out Davis (guess Staley is more concerned about the interior run defense) and they opted to keep a 6th corner (Deane Leonard) over a 5th safety (Webb), maybe partially out of concern for Jackson's early season availability?

I agree. I think Leonard goes as soon as Jackson is healthy. They do
need another safety.

Bandy, Covington, Gaziano, and Webb cleared waivers and signed to the practice
squad.

Good news. Now they'll be somewhat protected against injuries at some key positions.
