If Dobbs gets cut, do you think he makes it to the practice squad?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:33
I think he might clear waivers, but I can't remember the last time they carried a QB on the practice squad.
Harold Wormser

Is it finally time for Justin Hunter to break out?  Seems as though he performed very well during OTAs.
Ray Fittipaldo
1:33
He was great all camp last summer too. Then he had seven catches all season.
1:34
Rogers is only five months into his rehab. That's usually a 9-month injury. Some guys come back earlier, but I'd be surprised if he was cleared in July. Maybe even not in August though I suspect he might be by then.
Gilbert Lewis

Any word on Eli Rogers?  Could Tucker fill that role instead?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:35
Question to previous answer.
Stan Gable

Any reports on Allen or Sutton?   Are they ready to contribute this year?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:35
I think Sutton certainly can have a role this season. Not really sure about Allen. They'll have to be creative to Sutton onto the field if there aren't any injuries.

Any way Dobbs makes the team out of camp or are we looking at a injury to the IR?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:36
I think that's the most likely scenario.
Louis Skolnik

Secondary seems loaded on paper.  Who could be a surprise casualty?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:38
Loaded? Joe Haden and Artie Burns are starters and Mike Hilton is the slot, but none of those guys are coming off Pro Bowl seasons. Same with Burnett and Davis at safety? There might be more depth than usual, but that's as far as I'll go.

What is the biggest potential offseason need for next year?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:42
If Bell becomes a free agent then maybe a running back. I think they'll be looking hard at guards and centers next year too. Foster is unlikely to return so they could be looking for a rookie to step in as a starter if they don't believe BJ Finney can serve in that role. Also, Pouncey is signed through 2019 so they might look to groom someone there too. OLB could be an area if Dupree has another disappointing season. And of course ILB.
Thanks for all the questions this week. We'll do it again next week.
