That's a good question. Not only was Gentry a fifth-round pick, but he was selected early in the fifth round. I think he was like the second or third player taken in the fifth round. Someone might take a flyer on him and carry him as their No. 3 TE if the Steelers cut him. But practice squad is always an option if he's not claimed.

I like Buggs, played in an elite program at Bama. Does he make the team or even the practice squad?

DL isn't exactly deep with talent. I think he makes it as the sixth player in that group -- Tuitt, Heyward, Hargrave, Alualu and McCullers.

Is Chuks Okorafor going to make the final 53?

Okorafor has not had a strong camp, but he is coming off shoulder surgery. That might have something to do with his struggles. I think he makes it because I think they keep nine OL again this year. Not sure if he's the swing tackle though. Zach Banner is competing with him for that job.

Hi Mr. Fittipaldo      Thank you for your chats. They are great !  Can you explain why we did not see #6 in at QB last night?  I really have enjoyed watching him play and think that he may have a place in the NFL.

You'll see Hodges plenty in the final game against the Panthers Thursday night.

Ray, does Spillane make the 53?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:01
I like Spillane, but I'm not sure there is room. He'd have to make it purely because of his special teams ability.

Hi Ray, care to make any predictions on a surprise cut(s) at the end of the week?  Thanks!

I don't know that there will be any surprise cuts. Would cutting Eli Rogers be a surprise? That's about the biggest name I can come up with at the moment, and I'm not even sure they'll release him.

Thanks for the great questions this week. Once the regular season begins Brian Batko and I will be switching chat days. I'll go on Tuesday and Brian will take over on Mondays.
